The London Stock Exchange, Europe's largest bourse, said this morning that trading had been strong for the first half of the year, adding that it was too early to predict the impact of this month's attacks on the US.
The attacks heightened fears of worldwide economic recession and has led to a slump in global equity markets, but LSE Chief Executive Clara Furse said trading in secondary markets had remained strong.
'The Exchange's financial performance has proven to be resilient in a period of sustained market volatility and has been strong in the first five months of this financial year,' Furse added in a statement.
