Reuters adds Telerate benchmark data

The launch of Reuters Capital Markets and Reuters Telerate Energy content packages brings the combined Reuters and Telerate customer base access to industry-leading content covering exclusive prices and data, reference rates, news and analytics. The new data packages support Reuters growth ambitions in the high value content and transactions arena.

Christopher Hagman, Managing Director of Global Sales, Reuters, said: "Reuters new Capital Markets and Energy content sets bring our new combined customer base the best of both worlds. Customers can access a vast array of exclusive and reference data which are used as benchmarks around the world. Reuters-Telerate customers will also be able to access Reuters information and award winning news for the first time. This is a key milestone for us and our customers following the completion of the acquisition just three months ago."

The new content packages are:

Reuters Capital Markets Premium combines Reuters global content with all the most important Telerate real-time benchmark pages that the industry has come to rely upon. These include the Telerate 500 series, the world's benchmark for the US Treasury market, driven by execution quality inter-dealer prices sourced exclusively from ICAP, the leading inter-dealer broker.
