IT – INET – Updates the Market Identifier Code (MIC) (ISO 10383) to all INET Nordic FIX Protocols - (43/15)
The Market Identifier Code (MIC) is a unique identification code used to identify among other exchanges, trading platforms and markets. The MIC is a four alpha character code, and is defined in ISO 10383.
For example, trades that are executed on the Nasdaq Stockholm market are executed with MIC code XSTO.
Currently, MIC codes are not relayed back on FIX executions; however the MIC code is part of the INET reference data.
Based on member request Nasdaq Nordic and Baltic have decided to implement three changes:
-
Change of two existing MIC codes for First North Denmark and First North Iceland.
