Even before new regulations revamp trading in 2017, Europe’s private stock markets are already returning to their original purpose: handling big trades.
The average size of trades on European dark pools doubled to 11,403 euros ($13,050) in December from a low of 5,652 euros in May 2012, according to Fidessa Group Plc. The number of shares per trade rose 50 percent to 1,161 over that period.
