NYSE agrees to rent space on floor to ICE

About 40 ICE futures traders are relocating from CME Group's Nymex

NYSE Euronext has agreed to rent space on its New York Stock Exchange trading floor to its planned buyer, IntercontinentalExchange, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The move would see about 40 ICE futures traders relocate from their current workplace a dozen blocks across lower Manhattan, rival exchange operator CME Group's New York Mercantile Exchange. Regulators and shareholders are currently reviewing ICE's $8.2bn takeover deal for NYSE.
