SIRCA Data Library Update

19/07/2016 at 11:46 am
From 9 AM to 11 AM on Wednesday, 20 July 2016 SIRCA will be updating the Data Library (DL) in order to provide more consistency to the data held within the DL repository. During this time there may be small disruptions to the SIRCA Member Portal.
The following changes are being implemented:
– The Australian Company Announcements (ACA) headline summaries will no longer be available via the DL, but they will continue to appear through the full ACA product, available here: https://ausequities.sirca.org.au/ComNews.
– The Financial Express Analytics (FE Analytics) application form will now be available via SIRCA’s Knowledge Base (https://sircaknowledgebase.force.com/s/article/Financial-Express-Analytics-Application-Form) and no longer through a DL folder.
We hope the changes will improve your research experience within the SIRCA Data Library.

SIRCA wish to advise our Members that the ASX market data which supports our Australian Equities (AE) product is currently available in the AE interface up to 31 May, 2016.

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.
