McKay Brothers and Quincy Data have launched new data transport and market data services linking Illinois futures markets with trading hubs in Sydney, Australia, with the connection delivering a round-trip delay of less than 168 milliseconds.
The services connect the CME in Aurora, Illinois, and ICE Futures in Chicago with Sydney's Australian Liquidity Centre (ALC) and Equinix SY5, the latter of which houses ASX and Cboe Australia.
McKay Brothers is providing private transport capacity over the link, while its sister company Quincy Data is distributing Snapshot Feeds covering select futures contracts across equity indices, energy, metals, and foreign exchange.
The launch extends the reach of both firms into the Asia-Pacific region, creating a direct infrastructure bridge between North American and Australian derivatives markets to support price discovery across time zones.
