What happened
Microsoft is launching federated connectors for LSEG and Moody’s, enabling real-time access to market pricing, interest rate curves, and credit ratings within Microsoft 365 Copilot and (coming soon) Excel.
Why it matters
This eliminates the manual 'copy-paste' from financial terminals. Finance professionals can now use natural language to pull live equity prices or credit scorecard factors directly into their modeling and reporting workflows.
What this enables
- If you manage treasury or risk, you can query LSEG for the latest market interest rate curves directly in Copilot Researcher.
- If you perform credit assessments, use the Moody's connector to compare profitability and leverage factors for multiple companies side-by-side.
- If you model in Excel, look for the upcoming integration to pull live LSEG pricing data directly into your spreadsheets for valuation.
