Equity market round-up: Deal of the month

First it was the London Stock Exchange. Then Euronext. Then Euronext and Borsa Italiana or maybe just Borsa Italiana. Deutsche Börse clearly wants to do a deal.

Unfortunately each of its attempts has ended in failure. This November, Deutsche Börse finally threw in the towel in its long-fought battle to merge with pan-European rival Euronext, which had already agreed to merge with the New York Stock Exchange.

The decision came not long after it became clear that Borsa Italiana would rather join the transatlantic alliance than form any kind of link-up with the Germans.

Rather than give up, though, Deutsche Börse continues to search for some kind of deals and alliances.
