Global Headlines

We are kicking off the year with strong momentum and international recognition. The evolution of the overnight market is a global story, and Bruce Markets is at the center of the narrative.

Overnight in the News

Our CEO Jason Wallach was recently interviewed live in South Korea by Seo Young-Tae for Yonhap Infomax, the number one distributor of market data to retail firms in the region. Watch the full interview here.

The discussion focused on the rapid maturation of the overnight session. The market has evolved from a single point of failure to a robust ecosystem with three ATS venues. Jason highlighted that redundancy and a seamless client experience are now the top priorities for brokers.

As the market matures, price competition is heating up. We highlighted the launch of sophisticated Smart Order Routers (SORs) designed specifically to navigate this multi-venue landscape and find the best price for investors in last week’s BOE Issue.

Jason also emphasized the Bruce competitive advantage. It comes down to our people and our technology. Built on Nasdaq technology, the platform is tested to handle up to 60 billion messages. We have the room for growth that this new era demands.

By The Numbers¹

The December data confirms that this demand is real. Comparing Bruce ATS December session averages to November shows an acceleration in every category.

Traded Notional ($): $135.9M +69%
Traded Shares: 2.1M +85%
Executions: 32k +125%

The triple digit growth in executions is a sign that SORs are regularly finding the best price on Bruce ATS. The market is becoming more liquid and more active by the day.
