13/04/2026 (Agence Europe) – On Thursday 9 April, the European Commission forwarded to EU Member States a delegated act amending the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR). The text aims, in particular, to clarify the conditions for authorising trading during closed periods and to update the list of trading venues with a cross-border dimension, including Aquis Exchange Europe, TP ICAP (Europe) SA, Cboe Europe B.V. and Turquoise Global Holdings Europe BV. The Commission is also proposing to strengthen indicators used to detect market manipulation, taking account in particular of algorithmic trading and less liquid markets. The document has been distributed to EU delegations as part of the procedure for monitoring delegated acts. The EU Council now has a period of time to raise any potential objections.
