(Reuters) - NYSE Euronext and IntercontinentalExchange Inc are in talks about a possible merger, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.

IntercontinentalExchange had jointly bid with Nasdaq OMX Group Inc to break up the NYSE, but that bid failed.

Shares of NYSE Euronext and IntercontinentalExchange jumped in after-hours trading following the report.
