London Stock Exchange Group PLC and Microsoft Corp on Monday set out the next step in their strategic partnership which expands access to LSEG licensed financial data. The London-based exchange operator and financial market data provider said agents built in Microsoft Copilot Studio and deployed in Microsoft 365 Copilot can be enabled with LSEG data through this collaboration. LSEG said financial services professionals will be able to ‘benefit from intelligent tools that enhance decision-making and productivity and lower barriers to innovation’. Using a new model context protocol server, LSEG customers will be able to use data to build AI agents in the Redmond, Washington-based software firm’s Copilot Studio. Using Copilot studio, users will be able to access financial data and analytics licensed through LSEG directly. Financial details of the partnership were not disclosed. ‘LSEG’s partnership with Microsoft is transforming access to data for financial professionals with cutting edge, AI-driven innovation at scale,’ said LSEG Chief Executive Officer David Schwimmer. ‘LSEG customers can build, deploy and scale agentic AI directly into their workflows with secure, seamless connectivity through MCP.’ Microsoft Chief Business Officer Nick Parker added: ‘Our continued partnership with LSEG underscores a shared commitment to redefining the future of financial services through secure, AI-driven innovation. ‘By combining LSEG’s trusted market data with Microsoft’s cloud and AI capabilities, we’re empowering customers to unlock deeper insights, accelerate decision-making and streamline complex workflows.’ Shares in LSEG were up 1.9% at 8,842.00 pence in London on Monday morning. Microsoft shares were 1.5% higher at $518.40 in pre-market trading in New York. Copyright 2025 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
