The latest extension of Orion will allows HKEx to offer streaming real-time premium and full tick products for users of its derivatives market.

Orion was brought into HKEx’s securities market in September 2013 and showed up again upon the establishment of HKEx’s Mainland market data hub in Shanghai in March 2014.

The exchange said that Orion was providing low-latency market data having adopted Euronext’s product, Exchange Data Publisher.
