The London Stock Exchange (LSE.L) is eyeing a takeover of its U.S. rival Nasdaq Composite Index .IXIC just weeks after announcing a merger with the Toronto stock exchange, the Sunday Times reported. The companies have not held talks, but plan to make their move for a three-way tie-up later this year, the newspaper said without citing sources. Last month, the LSE agreed to merge with TMX Group, operator of the Toronto Stock Exchange, in a 3.1 billion pound deal. For details, see [ID:nN09186774]
