PSE’s new trading schedule, Odd Lot market, Board Lot table

After months of delay, the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) is set to launch its New Trading System (NTS) starting July 26, 2010.

The NTS will replace the current Maktrade system used by the PSE since 1993. The new system alongside the extension of trading hours, was to be rolled out originally in June 2009 but was postponed to October 2009 then deferred again due to technical and regulatory issues.

The NTS will use a trading software product developed by NYSE Technologies SAS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NYSE Euronext which, in turn, operates the largest exchanges around the world including the New York Stock Exchange and Euronext.

Under the PSE’s New Trading System, the following major changes will take effect.
