15 May 2019 LegisWatch

On 14 May 2019, following supportive feedback during a public consultation, Singapore Exchange Limited (“SGX”) announced its introduction of the “Trade at Close” (“TAC”) session for the securities market, effective 3 June 2019.

The TAC session is a 10 minute long session from 5.06 pm to 5.16 pm on a regular trading day, immediately following the closing auction routine, which allows participants to execute orders at the closing auction price set during the closing auction routine. The TAC session will only occur if a closing auction price is established for the security. The closing auction routine will remain at 5.00 pm to 5.06 pm on a regular trading day (or 12.00 pm to 12.06 pm on a trading half day).
