What has changed?

The launch of the NASDAQ Global Index FamilySM introduced indexes that tick during Asia/Pacific market hours. In an effort to provide vendors with an extensive offering of real-time data, NASDAQ OMX® has extended the operational hours of the GIDS 2.0 data feed to service a world market. GIDS 2.0 now operates 23 hours a day, six days a week (23/6). GIDS 2.0 will operate Sunday, 18:00 through Friday, 23:35. NASDAQ OMX has updated the GIDS 2.0 Transmission Schedule to reflect the new operational hours.

What is the new Schedule/Session ID?

Effective Monday, January 14, 2013, NASDAQ OMX will introduce a new Schedule/Session, North/South America Session ("NSA"). This session will observe similar hours as the American Market Session ("AME"), but the indexes encompassed in this session will not observe U.S. Market Holidays.
