What is Euronext?

Euronext, formally known as NYSE Euronext®, is a centralized exchange of European securities and derivatives that combines trading across national stock exchanges in continental Western Europe and the United States. The Exchange Group, founded in October 2000 by the mergers of Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris, has expanded to include the Lisbon Stock Exchange and won shares of the London International Financial Futures stock exchange (LIFFE). Euronext received the New York Stock Exchange in April 2007 after a long battle with Deutsche Börs, marking the first transcontinental fusion of the main exchanges, while giving further evidence of how the technology and liberalization of the market were primary in globalization of money and capital markets. In July 2010, NYSE Euronext® opened a securities market in July 2010 and tried to compete with the London Stock Exchange (LSE) on its home ground by allowing international compilations to increase equity by shares and other securities. Euronext processes all settlements of transactions.

In terms of organizational structure, NYSE Euronext® consists of the main market where stocks, closed funds, bonds, stock exchange funds, orders and certificates can be traded through Paris, Amsterdam, London, Brussels and Lisbon. NYSE Alternext® is a market that introduces shares of small and medium -sized companies. The next step in the size - as well as the requirements for statement and reporting regulations - are free markets or marché libre. Run AUTONYSE LIFFE® NOMEROUS adds an extensive range of financial futures, as well as expensive metals and other commodity futures and the possibilities of contracts with the offer of NYSE Euronext's® Securities.

Despite consolidation, there are remarkable exceptions that claim that NYSE Euronext's® will have a Pan-European stock exchange and after obtaining a NYSE, a global stock exchange. Leading international companies from Brazil, China and Japan release stocks and other securities on their markets, but that is also trueAbout other major European stock exchanges. In addition, LSE acquired Borsa Italiana in 2007, the main stock exchange in Italy, and in the European time zone was long considered the center of international financial markets. Similarly, Deutsche Börs is an exchange of selection for many German companies as well as a growing number of foreign companies, as applies to the main stock exchange in Spain, Bolsa de Madrid.
