NYSE Euronext has joined Dutch and British financial authorities in examining trading patterns of ABN Amroâs shares and American depositary receipts just before the multibillion-dollar bidding war over ABN became public, the bank said. âWe have received a request from the NYSE regarding transactions ahead of the announcement of our merger talks with Barclays,â a spokesman, Neil Moorhouse, said, reading a statement. He said ABN was cooperating with the investigation, but could not comment on whether there was any reason to suspect insider trading. The Supreme Court in the Netherlands is expected to make a ruling Friday in the fight between Barclays and a consortium of banks led by the Royal Bank of Scotland to buy ABN Amro for about 71 billion euros ($97.6 billion).
