Market data provider BGCantor Market Data and Thomson Reuters said today that BGCantor’s U.S. Treasury, interest rate derivatives, and European Government Bond data is now available for application consumption via Thomson Reuters’ data distribution services.

As a result of the partnership, Thomson Reuters customers can now access these datasets for use across a variety of enterprise applications in addition to the existing desk top services.

Bernie Weinstein, executive managing director and head of BGCantor Market Data, a subsidiary of inter-dealer broker BGC Partners, noted that by making his firm’s data available via Thomson Reuters’ feed platforms, “we will cost-effectively add genuine value to customers’ trading, risk, valuation and other applications.”

“Securing flexible usage rights from market leading sources of valuable information is key to our mission of supporting business automation within our customers’ organizations,” added Mike Powell, global head of enterprise information for Thomson.

“Working together with BGCantor Market Data to provide such flexibility in relation to their high quality OTC data can only benefit customers looking to leverage our feeds and distribution platform to support pricing engines, risk management systems and other essential applications,” Powell explained.

As the exclusive source for market data derived from BGC Partners and eSpeed, BGCantor Market Data's products and services are used by finance professionals for price discovery, analysis, risk management, portfolio monitoring and valuation, and research. Our product suite spans fixed income, foreign exchange and foreign exchange options, credit derivatives, and structured products.
