'''Op'''erating '''Ex'''penditure.


Inter-dealer brokers act as intermediaries or agents for wholesale market counterparties in a transaction. The business is conducted by telephone or electronically.
Opex is expenditure on items which are consumed - or whose benefits are otherwise enjoyed - in the short term, generally within the current financial reporting period.


They provide a channel for price data, current and historical, and for market news. They charge a brokerage fee.
Opex is contrasted with capital expenditure ('capex').




By helping price discovery and linking buyers and sellers, potentially worldwide, IDBs promote market liquidity.
