Nasdaq Joins Microsoft to Increase Access to Real-Time U.S. Equity Market Data
June 05 2019 - 8:05AM
Nasdaq (Nasdaq: NDAQ) is collaborating with Microsoft (Nasdaq:
MSFT) to expand the use of real-time U.S. equity market data by
individual investors. Through Excel, Bing, MSN, and other platforms
and services owned by Microsoft, the general public, including
individual investors and students, can now leverage real-time U.S.
stock equity market data from Nasdaq Last Sale to inform research
and trade ideas, while improving financial literacy.
Microsoft Excel, the industry-leading spreadsheet program, is a
powerful data visualization and analysis tool used by more than 1.2
billion people. Excel features calculation, analytics and graphing
tools, pivot tables, and a programming language to build and power
applications. Microsoft and Nasdaq together now empower Excel users
to track the latest stock prices, trading volume and more, without
ever leaving Excel to search outside sources.
“At Microsoft, our mission is to enable every person to achieve
more,” said Rob Howard, Senior Director, Microsoft. “Pulling
real-time and historical U.S. equity data from Nasdaq right into
Excel helps users track personal investments better and make
informed decisions faster.”
“Expanding the reach of real-time market data through our
collaboration with Microsoft is a significant step towards bringing
important market information to Main Street,” said Oliver Albers,
Senior Vice President and Head of Strategic Partnerships for
Nasdaq’s Global Information Services. “Microsoft’s focus on
empowering individuals aligns with our mission to make financial
markets more accessible to all.”
Nasdaq Last Sale provides access to trading data globally,
offering millions of people around the world Nasdaq-validated data
in real time. Nasdaq Last Sale data is designed to encourage
universal distribution of Nasdaq real-time trade data to the public
via the Internet and other electronic media. It enables firms to
