Thomson Reuters on Wednesday revealed that it has entered into a deal with CME group to provide liquidity access in commodity markets. This means that Thomson Reuters Eikon clients that trade on CME Group markets will now gain access to CME Direct; a front-end trading software for CME Group’s options, commodity futures and OTC markets.
The deal makes it much easier for Eikon and CME Direct customers to research, manage and execute trades. This is because traders will benefit from CME Direct’s electronic execution capacity as well as to Thomson Reuters Eikon’s analysis, news and charting tools.
The agreement covers asset classes such as CBOT agricultural commodities, COMEX metals and NYMEX energy.
