Wind Information Co., Ltd, a provider of financial data in China, together with ICAP Information Services (IIS), the information arm of ICAP plc (IAP.L), a markets operator and provider of post-trade risk mitigation and information services, have extended their market data portfolio to include real-time US Treasury pricing and global FX spot rates.
Following the partnership signed in early 2015 between the two parties to provide offshore Chinese renminbi (CNH) and end-of-day US Treasury data in China, the new offering now includes real-time benchmark data for US Treasury yield curves. Together with the data already available, Wind Info’s extensive global institutional client base can now gain access to timely, accurate data via the Wind terminal to enable more accurate price discovery and pre-trade analysis.
At the same time, clients of Wind Info can now also access additional spot FX data covering the majority of G20 currencies 24 hours a day, including AUD/USD, EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/HKD and more. As the FX marketplace is constantly evolving, this reliable data stream will help traders to do business at any time of day.
Mr. Zhou Li, Co-Founder and SVP of Wind Info, said:
Wind Info’s clients at home and abroad can now gain full access to all ICAP data. We see this as an important milestone in our partnership with IIS and a fulfillment of our unwavering commitment to offering highly accurate and reliable data to our clients. Going forward, we will also step up our efforts to further expand overseas and reach out to clients in new markets such as Singapore and the United States.”
