Pan-European stock exchange Euronext said its six-month trading was strongest since the end of 2011 as a surge in trading volumes in cash markets and robust Exchange Traded Fund listings buoyed performance.
Euronext is the primary exchange in the euro zone.
It said average daily transaction value in cash markets rose 35% during the period that included three of the ten days with the highest traded volume since January 2012.
Eight new large-cap listings in the first half bolstered total capital raised on Euronext to €61.7 billion, compared with €57.8 billion a year earlier.
Assets under management jumped 74% from a year earlier to €279.4 billion, the operator of regulated equity and derivatives markets said.
Euronext offers trading in equities, exchange traded funds, warrants and certificates, bonds, derivatives, commodities and indices.
Average daily transaction value in ETFs in June more than doubled to €587m from a year ago, according to Euronext which saw 38 new ETF listings during the period.
Euronext recently appointed Jos Dijsselhof its interim chief executive officer after former CEO Dominique Cerutti said he would leave the company sooner than planned.
The operator of bourses in Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, London and Lisbon said today that average daily transaction value on the Euronext cash orderbook in June rose 54% to €9.2 billion.
Among regulated markets, Euronext operates Alternext, FreeMarket and EnterNext, which facilitates small and medium enterprises. The exchange also provides technology and managed services to third parties.
