Icap mullered after research mix up

It’s logical that brokers such as Icap and Tullett Prebon should face being downgraded by the analysts who cover them. After all, they face many challenges. A degree of consolidation is taking place in their client base, let alone in some of the more lucrative markets they operate in. That said, I would still have thought that their diversification of offerings makes them better bets than certain regulated exchanges, which look to be veritable one-track ponies in comparison.
