KRX Official: Key Points of Earlier Derivatives Market Opening & Market Impacts to Consider
- The derivatives market will commence trading 15 minutes earlier, starting from July 31st. On July 7, KRX published guidelines that consolidate crucial factors for traders to consider regarding this alteration.
- From a theoretical standpoint, the early discovery of derivative prices influenced by pre-market external variables can help mitigate excessive shocks in the spot market.
- Considering suspected matched order fraud, particularly involving large-cap battery stocks, we should anticipate attempts to further exacerbate volatility in the early stages of the spot market using this earlier opening.
