This is a very good and extremely difficult question, especially considering the constant flux of the global markets. I suggest you speak with someone trained in the stock market who can perform a more in depth analysis of specific stock performances. In the meantime, I have included links that address this question in more detail.

According to Warton Business School:
"The NYSE was long a non-profit entity, and its members had a vested interest in preserving the floor-trading system that was going out of fashion. Although it is the largest exchange in the world, measured by total market capitalization of the companies listed on it, the NYSE has been gradually losing market share. NYSE leaders convinced members to go public by offering shares in exchange for their memberships. The members-turned-shareholders now have a vested interest in supporting change -- like the Archipelago acquisition -- that will help the exchange compete with all-electronic operations, driving up NYSE share price." However, "like Nasdaq, the London Stock Exchange is all-electronic and publicly traded"
