OREANDA-NEWS. September 22, 2009. Due to strong international demand, SIX Telekurs, the third largest provider of financial information in Europe, is expanding its supply of data from Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The expansion begins with the Russian provider, Russian Trading System (RTS Exchange), whose data is now being transmitted in real time.

SIX Telekurs now transmits RTS data in real time as opposed to hourly snapshots, as was previously the case. As a result, customers of SIX Telekurs have immediate access to events in Russia’s first regulated market.

"Our customers in Austria, the UK and the US in particular have been making use of this expanded offering", says Dominique Tanner, Head of Business Development at SIX Telekurs. "The banks have developed strong ties with Eastern Europe in recent years. We intend to support them in gaining further ground in these markets".

The RTS data offering from SIX Telekurs covers shares, bonds, funds, futures and options in roubles and dollars.
