FESE and Oxera Publish New Analysis on Market Data Fees in EU Equity Trading

Subscribe to our newsletter

The Federation of European Securities Exchanges (FESE) has commissioned Oxera to conduct an analysis of market data fees and revenues since the implementation of MiFID II, building on previous studies from 2019 and 2022. This analysis is timely, aligning with the ESMA’s recent consultation on the Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) on Reasonable Commercial Basis.

The Oxera study reveals that market data revenues from stock exchanges have remained relatively stable, suggesting that overall market data prices have not significantly increased. The findings also indicate a shift from display to non-display data usage, with fees adjusted accordingly to reflect this change and accommodate smaller clients.

FESE urges ESMA to consider these findings in shaping the final RTS to avoid overregulation, which could restrict data access and investment. FESE also recommends a principle-based approach to cost allocation, ensuring fairness across different customer groups.
