TSX Datalinx has signed an agreement with information provider Thomson Financial to distribute CanDeal’s real-time market data to traders and investors across Canada and around the world.

Under the terms of the agreement, Thomson will provide CanDeal pricing to Thomson ONE Yield users globally, and will make the data available to all retail users of Thomson ONE in Canada. The Thomson ONE tool integrates data and applications from Thomson, proprietary and third party sources to a single user interface.

The CanDeal data contains the best real-time market data taken from Canada’s six major domestic investment dealers. CanDeal’s real-time market data is the most timely, complete and accurate view of where these dealers are valuing all domestic Government of Canada bonds and Treasury Bills and a wide range of Provincial and Corporate issues.

“Through this arrangement and the addition of CanDeal data through TSX Datalinx, Thomson ONE Yield has further strengthened its market data, with a first-rate source of Canadian fixed income pricing. This is a major step forward for our Canadian fixed-income strategy,” said Jim Fiesel, executive vice president, Thomson Financial.
