‘Strong Organic Growth’

In the report, Deutsche Börse Group said it had achieved 'strong organic growth' in its second quarter and half-year performance.

Gregor Pottmeyer, the CFO of Deutsche Börse AG, in a statement noted that the company performed beyond expectation.

“Inflation, interest rates, volatility Volatility In finance, volatility refers to the amount of change in the rate of a financial instrument, such as commodities, currencies, stocks, over a given time period. Essentially, volatility describes the nature of an instrument’s fluctuation; a highly volatile security equates to large fluctuations in price, and a low volatile security equates to timid fluctuations in price. Volatility is an important statistical indicator used by financial traders to assist them in developing trading systems.

For this reason also, the second quarter clearly exceeds our expectations,” Pottmeyer said.

Earlier in April, Pottmeyer had said the first quarter result was considerably above the German firm's expectations.

For the second quarter result, the CFO singled out rising interest rates, noting that the condition “is having an increasingly positive effect” on Deutsche Börse Group’s net revenue.

“We expect volatility to remain high in most asset classes and cyclical tailwind thus to be an additional growth engine for our company,” Pottmeyer said.

“We should, therefore, significantly exceed the initial targets for 2022,” he added.
