In a period marked by data proliferation, market complexity and regulatory scrutiny, the ability to deliver accurate, timely and actionable information has become central to how financial institutions operate. Over the past year, S&P Global Market Intelligence has consistently met these demands across Asia’s fast‑evolving capital markets.
S&P Global Market Intelligence’s strength lies in combining the depth and breadth of its datasets with robust analytics and delivery adaptability. Over the past year, the company has continued to expand its pricing and analytics capabilities across fixed income, credit and derivatives markets, while refining the openness and accessibility of its data.

A key milestone has been the integration of IHS Markit datasets into S&P’s Capital IQ platform and Xpressfeed,creating a single,more comprehensive analytical environment. Clients can now combine reference, credit and fundamental data to support valuation, portfolio management and regulatory reporting.For buy- and sell-side institutions that rely on consistent and auditable benchmarks, this integration has reinforced the reliability of data workflows across both liquid and illiquid markets.
A particular area of advancement has been in loan and credit pricing. The company’s Evaluated Loan Pricing Service complements its existing composite pricing by incorporating market-based observations with proprietary clustering techniques and shadow ratings. This has become increasingly vital as regional banks and asset managers expand into private credit and structured lending. The firm has also enhanced its issuer yield curves and expanded its evaluated credit default swap coverage to more than 5,000 curves. This gives institutions clearer insight into market pricing and credit risk, supporting stronger compliance and risk management.
