How is automation shaping emerging markets?

In this episode of J.P. Morgan's Making Sense, Meridy Cleary from the FICC Market Structure and Liquidity Strategy team sits down with Carlos Gomez-Gascón, head of EM Rates e-Trading, to explore how automation is reshaping emerging market rates trading. They unpack the key difference between electronification and true automation and discuss how automated pricing and workflows can improve speed, transparency and scalability across EM bonds, interest rate swaps and FX swaps. The conversation also covers regional market-structure nuances (including repo and futures market dynamics), the rise of systematic funds, behavior during volatility and how trading workflows evolve through benchmark reform transitions.   This episode was recorded on August 28, 2026.   The views expressed in this podcast may not necessarily reflect the views of JPMorgan Chase & Co, and its affiliates, together J.P.
