A regulatory framework for the online bond marketplaces for trading listed debt instruments was recommended by the capital markets regulator Sebi on Thursday.
According to a consultation paper, the idea calls for bond platforms to either be operated by brokers registered with Sebi or register as stock brokers (debt segment) with Sebi. As the platforms would be offered through intermediaries subject to Sebi regulation, this will also increase investor confidence, especially among non-institutional investors. These organisations will also be subject to the stock-broker regulations, which will control their code of conduct and other areas of their operations and risk management.
After the European Central Bank (ECB) raised rates for the first time in more than a decade and bets on the extent of US rate hikes receded, Asian stock markets were on track for their best week in months and the dollar remained off recent record highs.

Prices in Japan increased 2.2% in June compared to a year earlier, according to official statistics released on Friday. It came after gains of 2.1% in May and April.
