The analysis of big data and its processing is transforming countless industries and their business models, making it more common for decision-making based on their interpretation to be part of day-to-day operations.
The stock market and financial world are no exception, information is power and decision-making is made in fractions of a second. In this dynamic environment the Market Data It becomes the differentiating element for making the most accurate decisions possible.
He Market Data refers to the universe of data that allows reference to the market in real time, including the prices of securities and their related information, the last trading price, the maximum and the minimum, as well as the traded volume, purchase positions and sale, and the amount, among other factors that may affect the behavior of the securities. All this data becomes raw material for the generation of insights valuable assets, cutting-edge analytical tools and innovative investment strategies.
Having this type of data plays a crucial role in the growth and modernization of the stock market as a whole. By providing access to information, we empower a greater number of participants, from institutional investors to individual market participants. This allows generating greater liquidity and transparency in the market, attracting new investors and promoting the development of new financial products and services.
In the Mexican Stock Exchange we see the Market Data as a fundamental pillar for technological innovation, therefore, we have developed new platforms and tools that allow market participants to take full advantage of the potential of information.
A few years ago with the adoption of Multicast, a standard technological platform used by all exchanges in the world to distribute large amounts of information, we understood the evolution that our business would have. If we add to this the fact that it was the first Latin American Stock Exchange to establish a “Point of Presence” (POP) in New York, we promote global connectivity to the Mexican stock market.
The Mexican stock market can continue to grow and remain an example for other stock exchanges on the continent within the technological aspect. The benefits of technology, in addition to being reflected in market participants, by opening new opportunities for international trade in capital and derivatives, also entails greater visibility of our country worldwide and greater capacity in the distribution of information.
As a result of these and other initiatives, our stock market today has a global presence on all five continents, with more than 200 clients who consume information and whose distribution exceeds 100 thousand terminals. The unit of Market Data It currently represents 19% of the BMV Group’s income and the adoption of technology and growth of the information sector will only continue forward.
Looking toward the future, at the Mexican Stock Exchange we envision a stock market where the Market Data It has been reconfigured to be a pillar of technological transformation and connectivity between the world’s stock exchanges. A market where information flows transparently, empowering participants and driving growth and competitiveness for the benefit of our markets.
