The value of European equities trading will rise by more than 27% in the second quarter of 2015 from a year ago, boosted by favourable macroeconomic conditions and a pick-up in volatility in the region.

European shares worth roughly €2.6 trillion were traded between April 1 and June 24 this year, compared to €2 trillion in the second quarter of 2014, according to data from technology vendor Fidessa.
