BNP Paribas has hired Jeff Gray to trade the short-end of the U.S. Treasury Curve. Gray was most recently at Deutsche Bank for several years, until he was released when the firm brought in John Santoro (BW, 8/11). He was not available to comment, and it could not be determined if the slot is new or if Gray is replacing someone. He will report to U.S. Treasury and agency trading desk chief, Zbignew Ryzak, who did not return a phone call seeking comment.
