Abstract
This paper examines how preferencing and internalization affect the quote-setting behaviour of risk-averse dealers who differ in their inventory. When competition is weak, both practices impede price competition and lead to wider markets spreads. However, in a highly competitive market internalization is detrimental to market spreads whereas preferencing is not any more.
