The FTSE Mondo Visione Exchanges Index surged to new heights in March 2025, closing at 92,420.71 points and marking a 2.2% increase from February’s 90,434.08. The Index achieved an all-time high of 93,197.34 on March 20, 2025, fueled by heightened financial market volatility driven by tariff-related pressures.
The performance highlights the resilience of exchanges that leverage a mix of financial technology, data services, and multi-asset trading to navigate uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. As Herbie Skeete, Managing Director of Mondo Visione and Co-founder of the Index, noted, “Exchanges that embrace innovation continue to thrive in challenging environments.”
