The London Stock Exchange has contacted European Commission competition authorities over Stoxx’s refusal to grant the exchange access to its futures license, Reuters reports. The LSE had asked the index arm of Deutsche Boerse for the license to trade a future based on its EuroStoxx 50 index in 2010. Stoxx rejected the British exchange’s request, prompting the LSE to contact European regulators, alleging Stoxx’s actions are anti-competitive. The LSE plans to begin trading FTSE 100 index futures, subject to regulatory approval, in the first week of June.
