LSEG and CMC Markets Sign Multi-Year Data Agreement

London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) and CMC Markets have entered a multi-year strategic data agreement that expands CMC's access to LSEG's financial data, news and analytics, the companies said.

The deal is intended to strengthen the data infrastructure behind CMC's multi-asset offering, giving the broker broader access to real-time and delayed pricing, reference and corporate actions data, news and analytical content.

According to the companies, the expanded access to standardised financial data is expected to support greater consistency and scalability as CMC develops new products, enters new markets and grows its institutional and B2B partnerships.

Chris Coleman, Group Head of Sales and Account Management at LSEG, said the group is pleased to deepen its relationship with CMC Markets, which he described as an important and valued client. He added that combining broad financial data and analytics with flexible access and specialist expertise can support CMC as it scales its business, develops new client propositions and pursues future innovation.

Lord Peter Cruddas, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CMC Markets, said that having the right data and technology is critical to how quickly and effectively the company can scale as it continues to grow and diversify. He called LSEG an important strategic partner and said broader access to trusted financial data will help CMC move faster and strengthen the experience it delivers to clients. Cruddas also noted that the agreement is another important step in giving CMC greater capability as it enters its next phase of growth.

The agreement forms part of CMC Markets' broader strategy to build a more diversified, technology-led financial services business, supported by scalable infrastructure that connects its trading, investing and institutional capabilities. CMC will also gain access to LSEG's AI-ready content, providing an additional foundation for the development of future AI-enabled applications and workflows across the business.
