Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM) Goes Live on Nasdaq Trading Technology
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The new system is now integrated with Japan Exchange Group's derivative trading
(J-GATE)
NEW YORK and TOKYO, Sept. 22, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nasdaq,
Inc. (Nasdaq:NDAQ) and the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM) today announced the
successful go-live of TOCOM's new trading system, which is powered by Nasdaq's
Genium INET technology, as well as Nasdaq Pre-Trade Risk and SMARTS Market
Surveillance solutions. The new system is now fully integrated with the Osaka
Exchange's derivatives trading system (J-GATE), which also runs on the same
Nasdaq trading technology. This approach of a mutually-shared trading system
between two separate exchanges is one of first of its kind in the world. Nasdaq
and TOCOM have been technology partners since 2009.
"We would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to our partner Nasdaq
who has contributed to the successful integration of TOCOM's new trading system
on OSE's J-GATE," said Takamichi Hamada, President and CEO of TOCOM. "Through
the utilization of the world's most advanced functionality and the capacity of
J-GATE, also powered by Nasdaq, the TOCOM market will be able to expand further
and it will lead to strengthening the competitiveness of the Japanese
commodity market."
With this new trading engine, TOCOM will provide ultra-fast trading and market
information dissemination to its trading members, while also being a one-stop
trading environment for domestic and foreign exchanges via a new connectivity
service. Further, the trading technology now enables TOCOM to extend across
boundaries between commodities and financial products, creating significant
efficiency for TOCOM investors, and also those trading derivative products on
the Osaka Exchange (i.e. J-GATE), who now have access to the TOCOM marketplace.
"We are proud of this successful go-live of TOCOM's new trading system, which
brings new efficiencies and access to Japan's markets, while also lowering costs
across the board for the exchange's investor and trading community," said Ulf
Carlsson, Vice President and Head of North Asia and Japan, Nasdaq. "With this
launch, TOCOM and JPX have achieved an incredibly important milestone, where two
independent exchange operators are sharing the same trading platform, providing
a common access point into Japan's markets for traders across Japan, APAC and
around the world."
Nasdaq's exchange technology, including trading, clearing, CSD and market
surveillance systems, is in operation in over 100 marketplaces across the
Americas, Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, the Middle East and the Caribbean.
