ICE's Jeff Sprecher might be CEO belonging to the combined enterprise plus Duncan Niederauer, the NYSE Euronext CEO, might be us president - a submit they claimed they blueprints to remain around till at the least 2014. The two usually are longtime friends.
ICE going while an online market with regard to vigor investing before Sprecher caused a string associated with acquisitions, out of this London-based International Petroleum Exchange in 2001, into the New York Board involving Trade and, nearly all recently, a number of more compact deals, including a climate goods transaction and also a risk within a Brazilian fixing house.

Hong Kong Exchanges as well as Clearing is a international greatest alternate group, using a current market cap of $19.5 billion.
