The takeover battle for the London Stock Exchange is heating up. Intercontinental Exchange, which owns the New York Stock Exchange, said Tuesday it was considering an offer for the LSE, Europe's biggest stock market.
ICE has been stung into action by an agreed "merger of equals" between Germany's Deutsche Boerse and the LSE, announced last month.
The Anglo-German deal -- which has yet to be approved by regulators and shareholders of both groups -- would create a powerful new global rival for ICE, which already owns energy, derivatives and stock markets in the U.K., France and the Netherlands.
