Capital.com has deepened its collaboration with the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) to enhance market data access and AI-powered analytics. The move comes as the online trading platform sees rising trading volumes, especially in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
Improving Trading Tools with LSEG’s Market Data
With this partnership, Capital.com traders will gain access to LSEG’s real-time news feeds, extensive market data, and sentiment analysis tools. The platform, which processes around $147 billion in trading volume each month, will integrate these features to serve its global community of over 750,000 traders.
Christoforos Soutzis, CEO of Capital.com Europe, highlighted the importance of the agreement:
“By bringing LSEG’s data and analytics into our platform, we’re making sure clients can access real-time market insights effortlessly. This gives them the edge to make faster, better-informed trading decisions.”
The deal also provides traders with Reuters news services, equity market feeds, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data. Additionally, users will benefit from company ownership insights and fundamental analysis tools covering over 3,000 markets.
LSEG’s Commitment to Market Innovation
Stuart Brown, Group Head of Data & Feeds at LSEG, emphasized the partnership’s impact:
“Expanding our relationship with Capital.com allows us to integrate our trusted market data and analytics into a digital-first trading platform. Our cloud-based services will help traders track markets efficiently and align their strategies with their financial goals.”
Both companies confirmed that these new features will roll out in phases over the next few months.
Capital.com’s Growth and Expansion in 2024
This agreement follows a record-breaking year for Capital.com, with trading volumes surpassing $1.7 trillion in 2024—a 33% increase from the previous year. The platform also saw a 20% jump in executed trades, reflecting stronger client engagement.
Soutzis commented:
“Our growth shows our commitment to expanding our offerings and improving the platform to provide the best possible trading experience.”
A major driver of this growth was the MENA region, especially the UAE, where trading volumes reached nearly $470 billion in 2024. Transactions neared 20 million, fueled in part by a partnership with Amazon in Dubai. The campaign offered 500,000 Amazon customers a chance to win AED 1 million (approximately $272,000).
Strategic Focus on Technology and Market Expansion
The expanded LSEG partnership aligns with Capital.com’s strategy of improving technology while growing its presence in key markets. By combining institutional-grade market data with AI-powered analytics, the company is attracting both professional and retail traders. With this focus, Capital.com aims to stay ahead in the evolving world of online trading.
