ICAP's third-quarter revenue from continuing operations falls 5 percent

(Reuters) - ICAP Plc (IAP.L), which matches buyers and sellers of bonds, swaps and currencies, reported a 5 percent fall in third-quarter revenue from continuing operations amid fragile market conditions.

ICAP, a broker for interest rates derivatives, commodities, foreign exchange and fixed income products, said its deal to merge its global hybrid voice broking business with Tullett Prebon Plc (TLPR.L) is expected to take place during 2016.

Both companies are in the process of obtaining regulatory and competition approval from various authorities, ICAP said.
