McKay Brothers, the leading global provider of data transport for financial markets, and its sister company Quincy Data, the leader in distributing critical real-time market data, are launching new services linking Illinois futures markets with key trading hubs in Sydney, Australia. The services connect the CME (Aurora, IL) and ICE Futures (Chicago, IL) with Sydney's major trading facilities, including the Australian Liquidity Centre (ALC) and Equinix SY5, home to ASX and Cboe Australia, respectively.

The new services provide a robust platform for price discovery between North American and Australian markets. McKay will offer private transport capacity, while Quincy Data will distribute its Snapshot Feeds, providing essential market information for select futures, including equity indices, energy, metals, and FX. The connection is engineered for best-in-class performance between North America and Australia, with a round-trip delay of less than 168 milliseconds.

"We are pleased to expand our global footprint to Sydney, supporting tighter markets and broader participation," said Stéphane Tyc, co-founder of McKay Brothers and Quincy Data. "Our focus is on providing all firms with the best possible tools for price discovery on a level playing field and ensuring that the most advanced infrastructure is accessible to every market participant."

A hallmark of McKay and Quincy's global operations is the Level Playing Field policy, which provides any client—regardless of size—equal access to the same high-performance infrastructure.
