Amsterdam Is Back Ahead of London as Europe’s Top Trading Hub

(Bloomberg) -- Amsterdam reclaimed the top spot as Europe’s largest share-trading center in July and August, beating out main rival London once again.

An average 8.23 billion euros ($9.75 billion) of shares a day were traded on various Dutch venues in August, compared with 7.63 billion euros for various London exchanges, according to data from Cboe Europe.

London had moved back ahead of Amsterdam as Europe’s largest share-trading center in June for the first time this year after Brexit pushed much of the city’s volumes to the continent. However, its lead only lasted one month before Amsterdam returned to the top in July.
