Special Report

Global Market Structure

As the Middle East--and the United Arab Emirates in particular--makes a strong bid to become an international powerhouse, Nasdaq OMX Group and NYSE Euronext have entered the fray. However, the current environment presents the region with obstacles, according to Brad Setser of the Council on Foreign Relations. “With the price of oil fallen, the region clearly is going to accumulate foreign assets at a much slower pace going forward,” said Setser. Dubai has been building with borrowed money and it remains to be seen whether its carbon-rich cousin, Abu Dhabi, will provide funding to get through the crisis. Also in this report: NYSE Euronext’s Anthony Attia talks about the Universal Trading Platform and how consolidating trading systems will alter the trading landscape.
