Transcript: This Week in the parish of bourses and market structure: Australia threatens Chess Nationalisation, Xav-SPAC a go-go, and its business as usual at TP ICAP as another set of results prove very disappointing indeed. My name is Patrick L Young, Welcome to the bourse business weekly digest. It's the Exchange Invest Weekly Podcast Episode 094. Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is a very brief reduction of highlights amongst the key headlines from the week in market structure. All the analysis of the week's many events and happenings can be found in Exchange Invest's daily subscriber newsletter -the unique guide to the bourse business sent daily to your inbox. More details at ExchangeInvest.com. This was the week where the CEO of the self-styled technology company ASX, Dominic Stevens tried to demonstrate with some moving averages that his technology outages are declining.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, the XAV-SPAC is a gogo, with one of those SPAC-generic names that sound like it makes fortune cookies for Chinese restaurants. The world Quantum Growth Acquisition Corporation: filed its Form S-1 late on a Friday night. In essence, the SPAC concept is made for Xavier Rolet’s c.v. as an investment banker turned excellent acquisitive dealmaker. The $300 million targeted probably doesn't place some in the exchange business, but peripherally in FinTech, as it ought to give significant clout. Credit Suisse is managing the deal.
