As Treasury yields test levels not seen since the early 2000s, this month we explore the competitive pressure that unprecedented corporate bond issuance may be putting on U.S. government securities. With $9.5trn in new U.S. fixed income assets issued in the first nine months of 2026 - including $3.68trn in Treasuries and $2.2trn in corporate bonds - we ask whether investors can absorb all of this new issuance, and examine the role extraordinary levels of new supply may be playing in driving bond yields to multi-decade highs.
Are bondholders shunning Treasuries in favor of investment-grade corporates?

August saw ICE IDs - our new permanent unique, and proprietary deal identifiers - enter production in the private credit marketplace. So far, more than 4,000 ICE IDs have been established, spanning more than 1,000 distinct private credit deals with a notional value of $1.05 trillion. Assigned at the individual deal level at origination and carried across the asset's entire lifecycle, ICE IDs are a foundational element in building a robust and rigorous reference data ecosystem that will allow private credit to reach its full potential as a $40 trillion addressable market.

At ICE, we’ve always been proud market disruptors. We identify sectors held back by friction and opacity, and apply our playbook of data, technology and expertise to bring transparency, participation and liquidity over time. The transparency of trading across global energy, credit default swaps, soft commodities, mortgages and many corners of the bond market are a testament to our progress.
Today’s deal with MarketAxess is significant because it’s so complementary to our capabilities. Clients around the world stand to benefit from deeper liquidity, increased operating efficiencies, and a seamless end-to-end workflow. The fixed income market underpins the global financial system and has huge potential for increased transparency and growth.
Together with MarketAxess, we plan to make these market enhancements tomorrow’s reality!
Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), one of the world’s leading providers of financial market technology and data powering global capital markets, today announced a definitive agreement to acquire MarketAxess Holdings Inc.

Any AI model is only as good as the data behind it. In fixed income, where markets are fragmented and most instruments don't trade daily, this is no small distinction. At ICE, our evaluated pricing methodologies have been built and refined over more than three decades and are deeply proprietary. Now, the ICE Data Services MCP connector makes these evaluations accessible within clients’ AI assistants, starting with Claude.
As token costs have become a growing concern for institutions, we also recognize the need to emphasize value delivered rather than volume consumed. In this spirit, our MCP connector offers a more predictable and transparent foundation for AI-enabled fixed income workflows.

Establishing unique identifiers is foundational to the evolution of private credit markets. The indispensable value of identifiers was demonstrated during ICE’s efforts to standardize the credit default swap (CDS) market in the mid-2000s. At that time, every CDS market participant had a different opinion of what a derivative contract was worth at any given moment, and although every counterparty was working from the same documents, all had very different interpretations of what those documents said.
What the CDS market taught us, is that for a market to scale it needs a few key components, but arguably none is more important than unique identifiers that afford all parties confidence that they’re referring to the same asset. ICE IDs will establish the foundation for improved reference data that will facilitate greater price discovery, enhanced price transparency, as well as efficient settlement and transfer of private credit assets.
ICE today announced the launch of a new classification service that creates unique, persistent identifiers for loans in the private credit market. The new identifiers, ICE IDs, are a key part of ICE Private Credit Intelligence, an industry-wide initiative started by ICE and @apolloglobal to build the foundational data infrastructure for the private credit market.
ICE’s President of Fixed Income and Data Services Chris Edmonds spoke to Eric Needleman, Partner and Head of Apollo Capital Solutions, about how this infrastructure can underpin market maturation, with ICE IDs providing a standardized way to understand loan characteristics.

Great work, by a very dedicated team!!
Climate risk analysis requires granular data about exposed assets. Building locations alone aren't enough - you need information about heights, construction materials, use types, and hazard proximity.
ICE built a machine learning model trained on 700,000 assets to infer these characteristics for 1.6 billion buildings worldwide. This large-scale analytics foundation powers our global physical risk insights across asset classes in the ICE Climate Analytics Platform.
@Verdantix recognized ICE as a Green Quadrant leader, citing this market-leading geospatial intelligence platform.
