True, but NYSE is more order-driven, I believe.

Haha, I'm just going to guess D) Euronext and hope for the best. Who needs to actually know how stock exchanges work?

Wait, isn't the quote-driven model the one where traders shout at each other? I'm pretty sure that's the NYSE.

I thought the NYSE was more order-driven, so that rules it out. I guess it’s between NASDAQ and Euronext for me.

I’m leaning towards NASDAQ too, but I recall that Euronext has some quote-driven aspects as well. It's confusing!

I practiced a question like this, and I believe the LSE might be the answer, but I could be mixing it up with another exchange.

I think the NASDAQ operates a quote-driven model, but I’m not entirely sure. I remember something about it being different from the NYSE.

I think the key is understanding whether the exchange uses market makers to provide liquidity, or if it's an order-matching system. That should help me narrow down the right answer.

I'm a bit confused on the differences between the exchanges. Maybe I should quickly review my notes on market microstructure before answering this.
JA
Jaclyn 10 months ago
I'm pretty confident the NASDAQ is a quote-driven market, but I'll double-check the other options to be sure.
VA
Valentine 10 months ago
Okay, I know the NYSE uses a specialist system, so that's probably a quote-driven model. I'm less sure about the others though.

Hmm, I think this is asking about the market structure of different exchanges. I'll need to remember the key differences between quote-driven and order-driven models.
