LONDON, July 31 (Reuters) - Britain's markets regulator the
Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) published detailed proposals
for a single feed for UK trading data on Friday, in an effort to
help reinvigorate the market and improve transparency.
The FCA said it had refined its proposals and was seeking
market feedback, ahead of finalising the rules in early 2027.
The aim of the so-called "consolidated tape" is to combine
real-time data from multiple trading venues into a single feed
to give investors a more complete view and to counter
perceptions the UK market lacks liquidity. The European Union is
planning to launch its own consolidated tape in September, while
the U.S. has operated one for decades.
