Last week ICAP said that increased volatility in financial markets helped it in the run-up to Christmas, with revenues over the three months to December up by 9%, in line with its first half.
"Trading across the group's businesses is in line with our prior forecasts and the guidance given at the half year results in November 2010, at which time we stated that we expected pre-tax profits of between £333m and £357m for the year to March 2011," the firm said.
