Knight Capital Group, Inc. (January 21, 2010) (Nasdaq: NITE) today posted monthly U.S. equity volume statistics for the month of December 2009 on its web site.
For the month of December 2009, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Index increased 0.8 percent, 1.8 percent and 5.8 percent, respectively.
“December witnessed the continuation of a year-end decline in broad U.S. equity market volumes,” said Thomas M. Joyce, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Knight Capital Group, Inc. “Aside from interest generated by large secondary offerings from a few banks to repay TARP, trading activity was light. At Knight, we continued to grow trade volumes compared to year-ago levels due to market share gains in trading of Listed and NASDAQ stocks.”
