Pan-European stock exchange Euronext is expected to complete the integration of its cash markets at the end of October. This follows the migration of the Amsterdam markets to a new electronic trading system.
Euronext was created in September 2000 by the merger of the exchanges in Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels. The October deadline gives Euronext Amsterdam and its participants time to prepare for the integration Nouveau Systeme Cotation (NSC), the single-platform, electronic trading system used on the Paris stock exchange.
Euronext Paris and Euronext Brussels are already using the single trading platform for cash transactions. Euronext Paris shifted to NSC on April 23 followed by Euronext Brussels on May 21.
Euronext will be the first European exchange allowing investors to trade cash products from the three countries through a single trading platform.
