Equities

The collaboration is set to enable the creation of a low-latency execution trading environment for Australian capital markets.  

Trading of the contracts is currently scheduled to go live on 28 April, and will also see BNP Paribas acting as a market maker to support liquidity, subject to regulatory approval.  

Collaboration supports Tradefeedr’s move beyond FX, using BMLL datasets to deliver standardised analytics via a unified API layer. 

New hire previously spent nearly five years at RBC, and has also served at ODDO BHF, Societe Generale and Eurex.  

Appointment has been with the firm for more than two decades; most recently served as head of quantitative equity trading. 

The new team now comprises of a senior hire from Barclays, as well as several internal hires, with the aim of aligning the firm’s global sales and trading offerings, The TRADE understands.  

In a joint paper, AFME and EFAMA highlight that mechanisms such as bilateral trading should not be curbed, to deliver efficient execution and investor choice and simultaneously bolster equity markets across Europe.  

The expanded hours offering is currently expected to launch in December 2026 and follows increasing demand for expanded trading hours for US equities across the industry, according to the exchange. 

New hire has worked across pan-European and US equity markets for more than two decades, and previously served at firms including Rothschild & Co, OpenExchange, Mediobanca, HSBC and UniCredit.  

Appointment comes as the investment bank continues to focus on growing its market share across key asset classes.
