Euronext, the pan-European stock exchange operator, said today that recovering stock markets helped boost revenues by almost 6% to €225.9m ($280.4m) in the three months to June 30.

Euronext, which operates exchanges in Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris and Lisbon as well as the London-based Liffe derivatives market, said in a statement: "This good quarterly performance was mainly owed to the recovery in the stock markets."
