minor miracles of financial markets is that, in volatile periods such as these, sellers of securities can be readily matched with buyers.

Slowly at first, and lately more quickly, the corporate-bond market is embracing trading on electronic platforms. Bloomberg is one of the main players. Another is Tradeweb, a venue favoured for the trading of government bonds. A third platform, MarketAxess, is the one best known for corporate-bond trades.
