TP ICAP reports first-quarter revenue drop

LONDON (Reuters) - TP ICAP Plc, the world's largest interdealer broker, reported a 9% fall in first-quarter revenue on Wednesday, to £483 million from £530 million a year earlier.

The revenue drop reflected an extremely volatile market in March last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the company said.

Trading activity in April this year had returned to normal levels and was in line with the group's forecasts, the company said.
