Andrew’s Blog - High Performance and Transparency in Europe’s Exchange Sector

The autumn season of 2010 holds the promise of extreme exchange action in the European arena as all of the major incumbent exchanges proceed with major investments in their matching engine, data centre and connectivity infrastructures. Clearly, this has all come in response to the arrival of a glut of multilateral trading facilities (MTFs) since the launch of the most successful of them – Chi-X Europe – back in mid-2007.

Andrew’s Blog - Thomson Reuters’ Redwood Steps Down; What’s Next?

The resignation this week of Mark Redwood, head of Thomson Reuters Markets’ Sales & Trading unit, confirms Step 2 of the three-step CEO succession scenario we outlined back in March.

Pete’s Blog - The Future is in the Memory for Tibco

I’m in Las Vegas, at Tucon, the Tibco User Conference, and it’s been a great experience. Incredibly, I am a Vegas virgin, so I indeed marveled at the re-creation of St. Mark’s Square - complete with its expansive blue sky, a canal and gondolas - all on the second floor of the Venetian. And it was a lot of fun to get to see Huey Lewis and the News perform last night at the conference party.

Pete’s Blog - The Market Data Cloud

It’s been two weeks since the A-Team Insight Exchange event in New York City, where I first uttered the words “Market Data Cloud.” I used - and will continue to use - that term to characterise a new paradigm for market data (and reference data) aggregation and delivery.
