 Nyse-Euronext

Financial historians will classify the 4th of April 2007 as a turning point in the development of stock markets. Because, before this date, the German and the Tokyo stock exchanges made acquisition attempts on the London stock market. Despite the fact that the waves of press releases concerning the talks between nyse-euronext has been regular in the press for the past six months.  This week, the event that marked the end of this development is a press release indicating that the merger between the two operators have reached its final stage and the listing/trading of nyse-euronext  shares will take place on the 4th of April. Thus, making Nyse-Euronext, a  transatlantique stock market with a market capitalization of 19 billion dollars. And whatever, might be the case, nyse-euronext cannot remove the aura and the long history that make the London stock exchange, an international financial marketplace.
