For this reason also, the second quarter clearly exceeds our expectations,” Pottmeyer said.Earlier in April, Pottmeyer had also said the first quarter result was considerably above the German firm’s expectationsFor the second quarter result, however, 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.
