LSEG and AWS launch FX market first

Share

Summary

LSEG has deployed its FX PriceStream platform on AWS Outposts in the Equinix NY6 data centre, marking a significant milestone in the modernisation of one of the industry’s leading FX pricing and execution services.

The deployment combines on-premises AWS Outposts infrastructure with the streaming capability of PriceStream to create a hybrid architecture purpose-built for latency-sensitive trading workloads. The new platform enables LSEG to streamline operations and provide clients with a faster, more resilient and scalable FX trading experience.

Delivering faster and more resilient trading performance

Early results have demonstrated average application latency improvements of more than 70% across migrated environments, providing clients with a more responsive and consistent pricing and execution experience.

Addressing industry capacity challenges

The architecture also offers the industry a potential alternative as market participants face increasing constraints around co-location data centre capacity. Beyond performance gains, the new platform introduces a modern cloud-aligned operating model that enhances software delivery, observability, security and resilience.

Building the foundation for global expansion

The deployment also establishes a foundation for future regional expansion, with similar capabilities planned for Singapore and London, demonstrating how AWS and LSEG are working together to modernise critical market infrastructure while ensuring the low-latency performance requirements of global FX markets.
