The financial markets technology provider enters into partnership agreement with Microsoft Inc to expand reach of its KX Insights streaming data analytics platform. KX Insights will be embedded natively on the Microsoft Azure platform with KX generating revenue based on consumption, FD says. "Microsoft's intention in leveraging KX's dominance in capital markets to co-develop product will become a symbiotic win.

AIM - LOSERS

----------

essensys PLC, down 49% at 125.90p, 12-month range 125.90p-310.00p. Shares hit 12-month low as flexible workspace industry software provider says expansion and acceleration of its go-to-market activities has been delayed by "continued Covid related uncertainty".

As a result, it warns trading for financial 2022 is expected to be below current consensus market expectations.
