BURSA Malaysia is quickly gearing up its regulatory infrastructure and hardware to deal and cope with the new style of trading the stock and derivatives market amongst hedge funds called high-frequency trading.
The stock exchange operator had last year just introduced and allowed high-frequency trading not on the local stock exchange yet but on the derivatives market for the moment. Observers say this style of trading will be allowed on the stock exchange sooner or later following the continual evolution of markets in this new era of technology.
