IT – INET Nordic – Additional Evening Trading Hours for Warrants and Certificates (18/19)

Nasdaq Nordic recently extended morning Trading Hours for Warrants and Certificates. As an additional step, Nasdaq Nordic is planning to offer additional evening Trading Hours for Warrants and Certificates on First North Sweden, First North Finland and First North Denmark. As additional trading hours will be optional from issuer perspective, new additional market segments with new trading schedules will be created. The new market segments with extended trading schedules will be available in INET NTF as of April 2, 2019 and GCF TST4 by April 4, 2019, and are planned for production launch as of September 2, 2019.

The existing market segments for Warrants and Certificates will continue to have the current trading schedules applied to them. A subset of the order books on those market segments will be migrated to the new segments. A subset of new listings will be listed at the new segments going forward. Adoption of the new market segments is optional for trading members.

The extension of the trading hours for Warrants and Certificates results in changes to the timing of end of day processes, namely the ITCH Feed EOD message, Member Trade File and FDS Close Files and List file. The impact of these changes should be considered by all market participants.

The introduction of extended evening Trading Hours for Warrants and Certificates is subject to regulatory review.

Background

To cater for retail investors’ needs, Continuous Trading has been requested to end later than per the current trading schedules in retail focused market segments for Warrants and Certificates.

Existing market segments for warrants and certificates will be kept and additional market segments will be created for the evening hours. Only a subset of order books are expected to migrate to the new extended evening trading market segments. A detailed list of order books to be migrated will be communicated via Exchange Notices.

Details

New additional market segments will be created for Warrants and Certificates on First North Sweden, First North Finland and First North Denmark. New trading schedules will be associated with these new market segments.

The names of the new extended close files are

The timing of the creation of list file will be postponed to after close of the extended segments and will include both the current and the new extended segments.
 

ITCH Feed EOD message

The extension of Trading Hours for Warrants and Certificates has an impact on customers reading ITCH Feed EOD message. Going forward, customers who want full ITCH need to continue to read all the way until new EOD after 20:35 CET.

Customers who want to only read Equities, and do not want to be impacted by the extension in Warrants and Certificates, may want to close down their own connection after 18:05 CET. The current automatic logout of connections at 18:05 will be moved to the new EOD at 20:35 CET.

Member Trade File

Member Trade File will continue to be created at current time of 18:10 CET, with the same file name as today. An additional file will be created at the end of day, after close of the extended market segments. This additional Member Trade File will be created at 20:40 CET and will have the same file name as the earlier file.
