Trading volumes in leverage products – making up the balance of 52.7% of total turnover – fell by a similar amount, 23.9%, to €11.7bn.
The number of new listings from banks fell by 15.6% to 461,329 at the end of June while the number of new products remained flat, up slightly (1.4%) from the number at the end of March 2012.
