Cost of NYSE seat hits five-year low

The cost of becoming a member firm at the New York Stock Exchange has fallen to its lowest level in over five years.

A seat on the exchange has just been sold for $1.25m, the lowest price since December 1998 and half the $2.5m asking price for NYSE membership just two years ago.
