There did not appear to be any significant shifts in liquid- ity away from MTFs as had been observed previously with the changes in volatility. LiquidMetrix analyses consolidated performance figures for stocks on major European indices and the changes from the previous quarter. The charts and figures above are based upon LiquidMetrix’s unique benchmarking methodology that provides accu- rate measurements of trends in market movements. Trading Volumes on lit markets including auctions are taken into account, as well as dark trading on the major MTFs. Issue 56 // TheTradeNews.com // 97
