The Moscow Stock Exchange approved measures to combat the volatility of third-tier shares: extending the discrete auction regime to all securities, reducing price limits and increasing price stepping, improving the methodology to counter destabilization and expanding the analytical coverage. This was reported to Kommersant by sources and confirmed by the company itself.
Boris Blokhin, head of the stock exchange department at the Moscow Stock Exchange, added that the expansion of analytical coverage in the segment is being discussed.
According to him, now illiquid securities “for obvious reasons are not heard by a wide range of investors”, so “it is very difficult to find an expert opinion” on them.
Experts believe that the measures are related to the financial market regulation regime and do not affect the economic mechanisms of the issuers themselves.
In his opinion, it is convenient to inform more actively about sanctions for manipulation in the stock market, so that investors are aware that such actions are prosecuted by law.
