Note, that MIB was the only primary venue that lost sig- nificant market share, highlighting the relationship between market share and venues offering better liquidity, i.e. tighter spreads.

As for Top of Book spreads, MIB was somewhat dif- 3 ferent in that the MTF venues tightened their spreads considerably compared to the primary market. Howev- er, even with this change the primary market €25,000 spread is still much more competitive. 10BPS Liquidity in €000’s Q2 2017 (change on Q1 2017) FTSE CAC DAX SMI MIB OMX-S Primary 1 € 394.70 35.50 1 € 953.70 57.20 1 € 1,421.00 139.60 1 € 2,300.80 669.90 1 € 389.30 79.00 1 € 426.90 18.10 CHIX 2 € 152.60 2.80 2 € 238.80 14.20 2 € 349.60 35.20 2 € 519.20 180.00 2 € 85.50 29.40 2 € 167.10 18.40 BATE 3 € 91.70 10.40 € 121.70 17.70 3 € 207.60 34.80 3 € 521.40 199.50 3 € 53.30 13.20 3 € 117.20 14.30 € 206.70 1.60 € 289.90 75.70 TRQX € 91.10 3.70 3 € 164.60 8.40 As we noted earlier, resting liquidity within 10 basis points of mid-price increased across Europe. This is also seen above with resting liquidity in all significant European markets increasing. A general point to make is that the primary venues continue to 78 TheTrade Summer 2017 € 42.10 5.80 € 90.70 -5.20 offer substantially more liquidity than the MTFs. In Q2 2017, liquidity on primary venues was greater than combined liquidity of all 3 MTFs for all indices that we measure.
