Nasdaq profit beats as market volatility bolsters trading

Revenue from Nasdaq's indexes, which are widely referenced by exchange-traded products and provide the company with licensing fees, fell 9.8% to $110 million.

Trading volumes rose as investors rejigged their portfolios in response to slowdown worries due to a sharp rise in interest rates, persistently high inflation and the banking crisis.

Nasdaq's net trading services revenue rose 1% to $267 million, helped by strong growth in North America that offset the decline in European trading.

Revenue from its anti-financial crime unit, that offers solutions to detect financial frauds, jumped to $84 million from $72 million a year earlier.
