The share price of NYSE Euronext rose more than 5% yesterday amid speculation the world's largest stock exchange group may bid for a US energy exchange.
NYSE Euronext traded up 5.5% to $82.11 a share while the IntercontinentalExchange, potentially a target since the energy exchange lost its battle with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange to acquire the Chicago Board of Trade on Tuesday, gained 7.3% to reach $11.34 a share.
