RESTON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Transaction Network Services (TNS) has expanded its global market data infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region with connectivity to Tokyo Financial Exchange (TFX), one of Japan’s leading derivatives exchanges. This collaboration provides TNS customers with direct access to TFX, delivered anywhere across TNS’ global network backbone.

The addition of TFX completes TNS’ connectivity across all major Japanese exchanges and offers domestic and international firms comprehensive, managed access to Japan from a single provider.
