Thomson Reuters starts real-time coverage of A2X markets

Thomson Reuters has started real-time coverage of A2X markets on its products, supporting both Level 1 and Level 2 data for this venue. A2X offers trading in listed securities, using high-performance proven technology at a materially reduced cost, providing traders an alternative to trading solely on the JSE.

“Thomson Reuters is one of the world’s largest sources of exchange traded instruments related content, both in real-time and history, which is critical to most of our financial marketplace propositions and end-client workflows,” says Sneha Shah, MD Thomson Reuters Africa. “The exchange traded instruments content has been built from both commercial and technical infrastructure relationships with every major exchange and the vast majority of the smaller exchanges around the world and we are certainly pleased to extend this offering with A2X data.”

Coupled with the real-time prices is an extensive historical database containing all exchange traded instruments content and made available for both tick data and daily summary data charts and analytics.

“We believe in open markets where multiple players thrive, using systems that drive efficiency and provide better customer experience. This is why we are open to working with, and providing data from, all exchanges to our customers so that a variety of places to trade are offered and more informed trading decisions can be made with the clearest view of what's happening around the world,” adds Shah.

A2X data will be made available on Thomson Reuters’ flagship desktop platform Eikon, or via Thomson Reuters’ Elektron Data Platform. From streaming real-time data to deep historical information, Eikon provides access to trusted, timely and accurate content from more than 400 exchanges and OTC-traded markets and over 70 direct exchange feeds, delivered via Thomson Reuters Elektron low latency data feeds.
