Deutsche Börse has raised its revenue estimates for its planned merger with NYSE Euronext, Financial Times reports. The bourse has increased the estimates to €150 million from €100 million partly through expanding the clearing service across the proposed new group.

The German bourse also expects cost synergies of more than €400 million from the proposed deal, adds The Wall Street Journal. Deutsche Börse expects to realize the cost and sales synergies from the end of the third year following the merger.
