ASX ITCH Feed comes to SIRCA!

22/06/2016 at 5:56 pm

SIRCA wish to advise our Members that the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) are now providing SIRCA with the ITCH data feed. We are currently analysing this data feed as this will be the new source of data to support our Australian Equities (AE) product.

Our initial investigation has indicated that ITCH provides less detail than the former feed for AE. We are currently performing a full impact assessment and will share our findings with our AE users as we learn more about this new provision.

SIRCA Release of Share Price & Price Relatives 2015 Update

15/06/2016 at 10:45 am

The Share Price and Price Relatives (SPPR) dataset contains monthly ASX share prices and calculated price relatives back to December 1973 for all Australian listed and previously listed companies with fully paid shares. Additionally, the SPPR data contains dividends (including franking credits), adjustments for share issues and reconstructions, number of shares on issue, and also tracks ticker changers along with merger/delisting information.

SIRCA’s 2015 update of the SPPR data is now available through our Data Library (DL2).  The dataset is fee liable.  Should your university be interested in subscribing to the SPPR dataset, please contact enquiries@sirca.org.au for licensing and fee information.

SIRCA Member Portal Refresh and release of our Australian Symbology Directory

The SIRCA maintenance today included a refresh of the Member Portal User Interface (UI).  We hope you like the look and feel of this more standardised layout!

Additionally, we are excited to introduce to our Members the new Australian Symbology Directory, a perfect companion to our recently released Symbology Visualisation Tool.

Please note that the Chi-X data within the Data Library (DL) is still re-populating following our maintenance and will be fully available again by midnight tonight.  We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

We hope the changes we are making enhance your use of the SIRCA Member Portal and we welcome your feedback through enquiries@sirca.org.au.  Thank you for your input – it enables us to continue improving your SIRCA research experience!

UPDATE as of 8pm 8/6/16: The Chi-X data is now fully available within the Data Library.

SIRCA Portal Maintenance: 8 June, 2016

07/06/2016 at 3:12 pm
Please be advised that SIRCA will be performing maintenance on our Member Portal from 9am-1.30pm on 8 June, 2016. The Member Portal, and all SIRCA datasets within, will be unavailable during this timeframe. We are excited to announce that this maintenance includes a refresh of the Member Portal User Interface and the introduction of SIRCA’s new Australian Symbology Directory, which complements our recently released Symbology Visualisation Tool.
The following updates within the Data Library (DL) are being implemented, providing more consistency to the data held within this repository:
  • The Australian Company Announcements headline summaries will no longer be updated via the DL, but they will continue to update through the full ACA product.
  • The ASX ShortSell Data has been streamlined into a single easy-access zip file, containing six CSV files, categorised by schema.
  • The application form to the Member Exclusive Financial Express Analytics service will now be readily available via our Knowledge Base.
We hope these changes enhance your use of the SIRCA Member Portal and welcome your feedback through enquiries@sirca.org.au.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to improve your SIRCA research experience!
