Euronext, created in 2000 from the merger of the Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels securities markets, is to pay £555 for the Liffe derivatives exchange in London. The deal puts Euronext in the lead to become Europe's dominant exchange operator, and is a serious setback for the London Stock Exchange (LSE). Analysts said it left the LSE vulnerable to a takeover.
