FCA plans daily summaries of UK stock trading from Friday
According to people familiar with the matter, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) plans to begin publishing daily summary data on trading in British stocks starting this Friday, as part of its effort to improve market transparency. The regulator will also release a year’s worth of historical data to help investors assess trading volumes in UK equities. The daily updates will serve as a transitional measure before the launch of a full consolidated tape for stocks—a single source of stock-trading data. (Bloomberg)
