TORONTO, Oct. 3, 2019 /CNW/ - TD Bank Group has been selected as the exclusive market-maker of the US dollar foreign exchange option (USX), traded on The Montréal Exchange.

"As market-maker, we create liquidity in the USX market, and with increased liquidity, investors have greater access to the product to help manage their currency exposure," said Eric Poteet, North American Head of Institutional FX Sales, TD Securities.
