Moscow Exchange, formed by the $4.5bn merger of Russia's two largest securities exchanges last year, has unveiled its first data hub in London to offer faster trading from the UK capital.

The exchange has taken up space in data centre-provider Equinix's LD4 London connectivity hub, offering its broker-members direct access to its exchange servers in Russia. Brokers who are already members of the exchange will be able to offer clients direct market access trading on the exchange from London.
