Thomson Reuters and ICAP today began delivering benchmark spot FX fixes for the following six major currency pairs covering EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, USD/CHF and USD/CAD. The prices are delivered every 30 minutes from the rates executed on the foreign exchange industry's two leading spot FX electronic trading systems, EBS and Thomson Reuters Spot Matching.
This expands the two companies’ successful partnership in producing the Bank of England replacement rates, FXFIX and FXCLOSE, which began in 2006.
Available today via Thomson Reuters next-generation desktop for financial market professionals Eikon as well as Thomson Reuters 3000 Xtra, the spot FX fixes have been developed to promote greater market transparency and to meet increasing global demand for more timely and precise reference data based on real-time market transactions.
