(Reuters) - Exchange operator Nasdaq OMX Group Inc (NDAQ.O) is considering a move to offer trading and clearing of foreign exchange, as investigations into alleged currency market manipulation boost interest in easier-to-regulate trading via exchanges, one of its executive vice presidents said.

The vast majority of trading in the $5.3 trillion-a-day foreign exchange (FX) market is currently conducted between buyers and sellers dealing directly with one another, either over the phone or electronically.

But Hans-Ole Jochumsen, Nasdaq's most senior executive in Europe, said global probes into alleged FX market fixing are encouraging market participants to think about trading on exchanges and through central clearing houses, in an effort to minimize exposure to any unacceptable market behavior.
