The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has updated its public register with the latest set of double volume cap (DVC) data under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II).
Recent updates include DVC data and calculations for the period 1 June 2018 to 31 May 2019 as well as updates to already published DVC periods.
The number of new breaches is 56: 47 equities for the 8 percent cap, applicable to all trading venues, and 9 equities for the 4 percent cap that applies to individual trading venues.
ESMA indicated that trading under the waivers for all new instruments in breach of the DVC thresholds should be suspended from 10 July 2019 to 9 January 2020. The instruments for which caps already existed from previous periods will continue to be suspended.
In addition, ESMA highlighted that none of the previously identified breaches of the caps proved to be incorrect, meaning no previously identified suspensions of trading under the waivers had to be lifted.
The DVC is calculated per instrument based on a rolling average of trading in that instrument over the last 12 months.
