This process included stocks of many of Japan’s largest corporations: Nintendo, Nissan, NTT DOCOMO, Canon and Sharp.

This new offering follows the successful launch of JPY IRO Matching introduced in June of 2010 and Japan Equity Derivatives Index Matching in September 2010.

Matching is a process run on various GFI electronic trading platforms which allows traders to anonymously contribute and trade at pre-defined levels on specific contracts during periodic sessions.

GFI Group head of Ecommerce for Asia Pacific Keith Nicolle said GFI is providing its clients an additional service in asset classes where these matching services were not previously available.

These new products add to the growing electronic matching offering GFI has built over the last year: CDS matching globally, Mexican Peso Interest Rate Swap ‘IRS’ TIIE and USD IRO.

GFI conducts Matching processes for multiple products on all of its electronic trading platforms: CreditMatch, GFI ForexMatch and EnergyMatch.
