The London Stock Exchange expects to complete its $27bn acquisition of data analystics firm Refinitiv in the first quarter of next year, LSE said this morning.

Earlier this month LSE agreed the sale of Borsa Italiana as part of remedies to appease the European competition watchdog.

LSE also said it is well positioned for Brexit as it posted a 2% increase in third-quarter total income.
