Online trading platform Capital.com has expanded its partnership with London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) to integrate market data and AI-powered analytics services, the companies announced today (Thursday). The latest collaboration comes at a time when the broker is reporting a significant increase in trading volumes, particularly in the MENA region.
Capital.com Integrates LSEG Market Data to Enhance Trading Platform
The agreement will provide Capital.com’s users access to LSEG’s real-time news feeds, market data, and sentiment analysis tools. The trading platform, which handles approximately $147 billion in monthly trading volume, will incorporate these features across its existing infrastructure serving more than 750,000 global traders.
“Our strategic collaboration with LSEG marks an ongoing commitment to partner with the very best organizations to support our clients,” said Christoforos Soutzis, Chief Executive Officer of Capital.com Europe.
“By integrating LSEG’s powerful data and analytics features directly into our trading platform, clients can access a comprehensive range of market-moving news and analysis quickly and effortlessly, empowering them to make informed decisions faster than ever before.”
The enhanced collaboration includes access to Reuters news services, equity market feeds, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics. Traders will also receive company ownership data and fundamental analysis tools for the more than 3,000 markets available on the platform.
“We are excited to expand our partnership with Capital.com, a leading digital-first broker,” LSEG’s Stuart Brown, Group Head of Data & Feeds, added. “By integrating our comprehensive and trusted data sets with their client-centric digital channels through our market-leading, cloud-enabled technology services, we empower users to effectively monitor the markets, generate ideas tailored to their risk tolerance and personal values, and achieve improved portfolio outcomes.”
According to the companies, the implementation will occur in phases over the coming months.
$1.7T in 2024
The new partnership comes in a time, when Capital.com experienced significant expansion across its platform in 2024, with total trading volumes surpassing $1.7 trillion—a 33% increase from the previous year. This was accompanied by a more than 20% rise in the number of trades executed.
“Capital.com’s higher trading volumes and strong client engagement in 2024 marks a milestone in our evolution as a high-growth trading platform,” commented Soutzis.
“This consistent and strong growth puts us in good stead to offer more products and add new features to our platform, further empowering our clients to make better financial decisions,” Soutzis added.
A large portion of the trading activity came from clients in the Middle East and Europe, reflecting increased engagement from these regions. This was confirmed by separate data published at the end of January regarding the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which showed that trading volumes in 2024 reached nearly $470 billion, with the number of transactions approaching 20 million.
Additionally, Capital.com’s UAE branch collaborated with Amazon on a promotional initiative in Dubai. As part of the campaign, over 500,000 Amazon customers will receive a Capital.com-branded package, giving them an opportunity to participate in a raffle for AED 1 million (approximately $272,000).
The LSEG partnership, which brings institutional-grade data and AI-powered analytics, combined with expansion in the MENA region, indicates a two-pronged strategy: enhancing Capital.com’s technological capabilities while aggressively expanding their geographical footprint. With trading volumes increasing by more than 30%, the company is leveraging this growth to invest in platform capabilities that attract more professional traders while maintaining their appeal to retail clients through improved decision-making tools and market analysis features.
