On April 10th, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) revised its Trading Rules in response to the further optimization of the trading system in the ChiNext reform. First, the SZSE clarified the introduction of a market maker system for ChiNext. Practice has shown that the market maker system helps improve pricing efficiency, reduce transaction costs, and decrease price volatility. The SZSE will further clarify the application and termination of market-making services, the rights and obligations of market makers, and supervision arrangements through the issuance of detailed rules and guidelines, ensuring the smooth implementation of the reform measures. Second, the SZSE adjusted the negotiated block trading of ChiNext stocks to real-time confirmation. The previous arrangement of "intraday submission, post-market confirmation" had problems such as insufficient operation time and affecting participation willingness. The confirmation time has been adjusted from 15:00-15:30 to 9:30-11:30 and 13:00-15:30, which will help further increase the willingness to complete negotiated block trading and facilitate the entry of medium- and long-term funds into the market. Third, the SZSE expanded the range of after-hours fixed-price trading instruments. The after-hours fixed-price trading mechanism for ChiNext stocks was introduced in August 2020 and has been operating smoothly and orderly. This expansion of the scope of after-hours fixed-price trading to include all ETFs, including those related to the ChiNext board, is a beneficial supplement to intraday auction trading. It allows investors to trade at the closing price and better meets their diversified trading needs.
