NYSE Euronext publishes monthly market quality reports for European cash markets

Market Quality figures improve transparency for issuers and investors joined in capital formation process
December 14, 2011--NYSE Euronext (NYX), today announced it will start publishing on its website monthly market quality figures for the most active European trading venues that trade NYSE Euronext listed stocks. The reports are compiled using TAG Audit data, an independent and unbiased provider of trade performance and market quality assessment for the securities industry.

The monthly market quality reports will offer insight into the expectations an investor might have with regard to comparative quality of execution across trading venues.

Market quality is a key differentiating factor for investors and brokers when selecting a trading venue. Given there are a variety of venues to execute a trade, there is an implicit search cost and explicit cost of inferior market quality of the resultant execution. The better the relative quality of a market’s metrics the lower the costs will be for the investor, assuring therefore a better quality of execution. Indicators of market quality include the venue’s presence time at European Best Bid and Offer (EBBO), quoted market depth (reflecting the market’s ability to sustain relatively large market orders without impacting the price of the security) and quoted spreads (difference between bid and ask prices).

EU probes Thomson Reuters competition commitments

December 14, 2011-- The European Commission said on Wednesday it was launching consultations to see if commitments by global news agency Thomson Reuters were enough to remedy concerns over its dominant market position.

The Commission opened an inquiry in 2009into the financial news and information giant owing to concerns that its coding system for listed companies could harm competition, denying users other sources of information.

In an initial finding, the Commission ruled that the Reuters Instrument Codes system posed significant obstacles to clients wishing to change information suppliers because their own systems were tied into RICs.
