Deutsche Borse's new service is aimed at algorithmic traders, asset managers and hedge funds who need a machine-readible format.

Deutsche Borse has added global treasury auction data to its algorithmic news feed AlphaFlash, the Frankfurt-based exchange operator announced today.

The global treasury feed enables market participants to instantly access treasury auction announcements and execute their automated trades”, stated Georg Gross, Head of Front Office Data & Analytics at Deutsche Borse, in today’s release.

AlphaFlash Global Treasury provides data from the following 12 countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. A separate data package providing U.S. Treasury auction data has been available since the launch of AlphaFlash in April 2010, according to the release. Additional countries will be added later in 2011.

In general, AlphaFlash delivers low latency, machine-readable economic indicators and corporate newsSubscribers can choose between several data packages, e.g. U.S., Canadian, European or Asia-Pacific economic indicators, as well as the AlphaFlash Corporate News Germany feed and two treasury feeds.
