Financial Markets Data

Financial markets react in different ways to every day events. Relating how this happens, i.e. how market trends are influenced through news, has been the domain of traders in a number of financial institutions. Australian-based SIRCA is now taking data from Reuters and making this available to academic institutions and other financial companies. They provide the TAQTIC engine to aggregate, summarize and publish financial data -- often leading to very high data volumes. A very interesting use of large scale data Grids.
