Deutsche Börse has introduced access to historical market data from CME Group on to its cloud-based analytics platform A7.
The Frankfurt-based market infrastructure group has signed a licence agreement with global derivatives market CME Group that will enable market participants to access market data sets for both exchanges via the A7 platform, which it launched in July 2020.
In extending this facility, Deutsche Börse indicates that it is responding to customer demand for access to a broad range of market data sets from a single platform.
Historical data from CME Group will be available T+1 and will initially include data from its four designated contract markets, notably the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), Commodity Exchange (COMEX) and the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX).
These data sets from CME Group will be available to Deutsche Börse customers from June.
This enables A7 customers to access these respective market data sets via their trading front end, without the need to operate their own data warehouses.
Users of the A7 platform can also access market data from Eurex, Xetra, and EEX for trading, for developing and testing execution algorithms, or for other uses.
Deutsche Börse head of market data and services Alireza Dorfard says: “Our customers have a strong demand for data on global derivatives markets.
“Through the cooperation with CME Group, they can now obtain and analyse this data easily and promptly via A7. We will continue to expand our data offering to meet the needs of our clients.”
Trey Berre, CME Group global head of data services, says: “Our market data is optimised for use with A7’s analytics engine, bringing together high-quality derivatives benchmarks with tailored trading strategies for profitability and risk management.
“This robust combination of data and analytics, access through services like Deutsche Börse’s cloud-based platform, enables a broader community of investors to identify actionable insights with greater speed and less complexity.”
