Rumors of Further Bourse Consolidation Persist
On June 2, Euronext and the New York Stock Exchange announced a merger that would create the world’s largest stock exchange, and the first cross-Atlantic bourse. At the same time, Deutche Börse is also rumored to be seeking another partner for the merger, looking at OMX AB, the operator of Scandinavian and Baltic exchanges, or even Borsa Italiana, which is itself rumored to be a potential target for a combined NYSE-Euronext.
