WELLINGTON Ryan Murray Salute to Service Jersey , Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- New Zealand researchers said Monday they have traced the origins of a "technological arms race" that gives Wall Street an advantage in the international markets.


The University of Otago researchers scanned the United States Patent and Trademark Office database for market infrastructure (MI) patents for software or hardware using in trading filed between January 1976 and December 2013.


"Trading a share -- once a hands-on transaction taking around two minutes -- is now handled in mere nanoseconds by computers in many markets around the world," study co-author Dr Ivan Diaz- Rainey said in a statement.


"A technology arms race is well underway as firms vie to shave even more time off trading and maintain their competitive edge. But it's not just about trading speed. We're seeing technology used more when firms are first issuing securities and even the use of neural networks in portfolio selection."


The study was the first to use U.S. patent data to examine which firms had led the transformation and what pattern it had taken.


"Established economic theory tells us that new firms will play a leading role in transforming an industry. However, traditional finance firms are powerful and commercially astute so it is reasonable to assume at least some will have responded aggressively by patenting new MI technologies themselves," said Diaz-Rainey.


"We identified software companies and smaller brokerage firms that have invested heavily in technology internally and through market acquisitions, right alongside major incumbent firms like the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Goldman Sachs."


The study revealed that the leading MI patentee was not an established firm, but a private software firm, Trading Technologies International.


It showed the MI revolution began in the mid-to-late 1990s and had been more intense in comparison to general patent filing levels of the same time period.


The analysis may be of interest in markets that were less technology driven, such as New Zealand's, and could help inform regulators considering shifting toward computerized high frequency trading.


"At a basic level, all markets are increasingly integrated -- if Wall Street sneezes, New Zealand is likely to catch a financial cold. So I guess a question is do we want to move towards this?" said Diaz-Rainey.




JINAN, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- Shandong Province in east China set a new record of exporting farm products worth 107.5 billion yuan (about 15.6 billion U.S. dollars) in 2016, according to the provincial government.


Shandong has been the country's top agricultural product exporter for the past 18 years. Shandong's farm exports, accounting for nearly a quarter of the nation's total, grew by 13.1 percent year on year in 2016.


Top export products from the province are vegetables, freshwater and seafood products, while fresh and dried fruits and potato products are gaining popularity.


The major export destinations are Southeast Asian countries, Japan, and the Republic of Korea.


Provincial officials say measures are in place to ensure food safety, which helps Shandong farm exports gain bigger global market shares.


NEW YORK, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) -- U.S. stocks opened higher on Friday, as investors continued to digest the minutes the U.S. Federal Reserve' s September meeting released Thursday.


"So, the minutes showed a Fed mired in indecision, erring on the side of dovishness," said Stephen Guilfoyle, managing director at Deep Value, Friday.


According to the minutes, the information reviewed for the Sept. 16-17 meeting suggested that U.S. real gross domestic product (GDP) was expanding at a moderate pace in the third quarter.


Domestic financial conditions, however, tightened modestly as concerns about prospects for global economic growth prompted an increase in financial market volatility and a deterioration in risk sentiment during the period.


"Many (officials) acknowledged that recent global economic and financial developments may have increased the downside risks to economic activity somewhat," the minutes said.x On the economic front, import prices edged down 0.1 percent in September, less than market expectations of 0.5 percent drop. However, export prices declined 0.7 percent, more than the 0.2 percent estimates by analysts.


Shortly after the opening bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 55.79 points, or 0.33 percent, to 17,106.54. The S&P 500 rose 4.42 points, or 0.22 percent, to 2,017.85. The Nasdaq Composite Index ticked up 2.97 points, or 0.06 percent, to 4,813.75.


U.S. stocks reversed early losses to end higher Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average on a five-day winning streak for the first time in 2015, as Wall Street assessed the newly-released Fed's minutes.
