Commenting on the Index which closed at 36,814.56 on 30 December 2016, Herbie Skeete, Managing Director, Mondo Visione and Co-founder of the Index said:
“With the London Stock Exchange Group close to selling its French clearing operation LCH.Clearnet SA to Euronext, it is one step closer to alleviating the concerns of the EU antitrust authorities with regard to its merger with Deutsche Börse. Across the pond, CBOE is on track to complete its acquisition of Bats Global Markets in the first half of 2017. As the year ended Tullett Prebon completed a deal for ICAP’s voice-broking and information business. The remainder of ICAP, which has been rebranded as Nex Group, will focus on electronic trading, post-trade and financial technology. We will see over the course of the next 18 months whether the timing was right in Nex exiting the voice broking business.”
