Trading : ETFs in Europe : Roger Aitken
January 31, 2014--CROWDED HOUSE.
Europe's exchange-traded fund (ETF) landscape has certainly become more crowded following BATS Chi-X Europe's launch of a new pan-European platform late last year.
Can the market stomach another and what's the prognosis for 2014? Roger Aitken reports.
Opaque and illiquid. That's how some have described the European ETF market. However, things are changing and there are high hopes for 2014. The evolution though is likely to differ from the US where it all began in 1993 largely for the retail segment.

January 30, 2014--Turkey's central bank's massive interest rate hike has done nothing to contain the lira's slide and statements from top government figures are fueling market uncertainty, damaging investor confidence.
The lira was trading at 2.27 against the US dollar on Thursday, well above Wednesday morning's rate of 2.16 after the central bank hiked interest rates to defend the embattled currency.It is feared that the big emergency interest rate hike, prompted by a continuous dive in the lira, will dent Turkey's economic growth.Given current market conditions, politicians should take extreme care not to make comments that could exacerbate ongoing volatility, observers are saying.
