2 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jul 6

Summary

  • Revisions published last week show Euronext scaling back planned increases for trading data after clients warned the earlier pricing would raise costs for key market information.
  • The exchange operator had been updating its fee schedule to comply with European Union rules aimed at improving market-data access and transparency.
  • An earlier version of the price list triggered pushback from market participants, prompting Euronext to reconsider the increases rather than proceed with the original plan.
