Thomson Reuters starts to publish market data of the Ukrainian Exchange

As of July 7, 2009 market data of the Ukrainian Exchange and its equity index are available to subscribers of Thomson Reuters.

This cooperation became possible after RTS and the Ukrainian Exchange signed an agreement on market data dissemination.

"As of today numerous subscribers of Thomson Reuters will gain real time access to our market data. This will enable professional investors from all over the world to track online the developments on the Ukrainian stock market within the trading day", says Oleg Tkachenko, CEO of the Ukrainian Exchange.

"Access to real time prices and volumes on trading floors is crucial for any investor. Lack of market data disclosure to the international markets was the obstacle that hindered adequate evaluation of the Ukrainian market. The market data displayed on Reuters will facilitate decision making for investors who are interested in the Ukrainian market. Now investors will be guided by information coming from several trading floors especially given the fact that the share of the Ukrainian Exchange in the total equity trading has been growing dramatically recently. This is a positive development for the Ukrainian Exchange and the Ukrainian equity market because it completes the market picture", - says Vladimir Grishchenko, head of Securities Trading of Troika Dialog Ukraine.  

Codes assigned to securities in the Thomson Reuters terminals are made up of the corresponding exchange codes and the identifier ".UAX", for example, UNAF.UAX.

List of codes:
Equity trading - 0#ALL.UAX,
Bonds trading - 0#UACORP=UAX
