UK FCA to Release Daily Stock‑Trading Data
The UK’s financial regulator, the FCA, will start showing a daily report of how many shares are traded in the country.
It will also give a year’s worth of past data so investors can see how busy the market has been.
This is a step toward a single, all‑in‑one data feed for stocks.
Some people worry that showing prices before trades happen could let fast traders cheat.
The London Stock Exchange’s boss, Julia Hoggett, says the FCA should be careful and add rules to keep the market fair.
FCA will publish a daily summary of UK share trading starting Friday to boost transparency.
A year of historical trading data will also be released to help investors gauge volume.
The daily update is a precursor to a consolidated tape that may include pre‑ and post‑trade data.
There is debate over including pre‑trade pricing data, with concerns about market integrity and front‑running.
LSE CEO Julia Hoggett urges caution, proposes safeguards, and threatens government intervention if FCA proceeds without them.
