Euronext’s FastMatch consolidated central market data product, the foreign exchange (FX) Tape, is now available on the QuantHouse application programming interface (API).
The FX Tape includes transactions from a variety of market participants and sources, including FastMatch’s electronic communication network, delivering a reference point for executed trades in the spot FX market.
More than 300 buy-side firms and investment banks are already connected to the QuantHouse API ecosystem using solutions provided by buy and sell-side firms, execution venues and technology partners via a single managed QuantHouse API.
Euronext’s FastMatch FX Tape is the only consolidated FX tape available in the market, making pre- and post-trade benchmarking possible for the first time.
Pierre Feligioni, CEO and co-founder, QuantHouse, said: “Whether you sit on the buy-side or sell-side, anyone who trades FX will benefit from being able to access the FastMatch FX tape. We commend FastMatch for looking to create the first consolidated tape for the FX market and are delighted to be able to help expand their reach through our API global community of users.”
Kevin Wolf, CEO of FastMatch, commented: “FastMatch’s FX Tape makes post-trade information for the spot market accessible to everyone as we deliver transaction information from a broad range of sources.”
He added: “We anticipate that QuantHouse will act as a complementary channel for those wishing to access the FX Tape in addition to our suite of Spot FX Market Data products.”
