®
Europe Limited, operator of the largest pan-European equity multilateral
trading facility (MTF), today published its trading statistics for the second quarter of 2009. Chi-X Europe offers trading in component stocks of 19 indices across 14 major European markets, as well as ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) and ETCs (Exchange Traded Commodities), providing access to a universe of over 900 stocks for its trading participants. In the last quarter, Chi-X Europe added the component stocks of the PSI 20 (Portuguese main index) to its growing list of available indices.
Commenting on the announcement, Mark Howarth, CEO of Chi-X Europe, said, “Given recent market volatility, we are pleased to see that not only is liquidity returning to the markets, but also that many participants new to the European markets are now actively trading here. We believe this has had a significant impact on overall market volumes and are greatly encouraged by the growth in volumes, numbers of trades and overall turnover on Chi-X Europe.”
