. For investors, the most concerned issue is whether the A-share market, which was originally scheduled to open on January 31 (Friday), will also delay the opening of the market? On January 27, the China Securities Regulatory Commission clearly responded to this concern of shareholders.
During the SARS period in 2003, there was a precedent for A-shares to delay the opening of the market.
On April 28, 2003, the China Securities Regulatory Commission decided to extend the closing time of the securities and futures markets on May 1st, and changed the closing arrangement originally scheduled from May 1st to May 5th to the closing from May 1st to May 9th (Friday), and the opening on May 12th (Monday).
This time, the extension of the market closing time will be postponed to the opening date originally scheduled for January 31 (Friday) to February 3 (Monday), which is equivalent to opening the market by only one trading day later.
It should be pointed out that in the past seventeen years, the securities market has undergone tremendous changes, including that investors' order trading methods are now more concentrated online. Therefore, there are opinions that even if A-shares do not delay the opening of the market, it will not affect most investors' operations at home, but the employee work arrangements of institutional investors such as securities companies and public and private equity funds will be affected.
Before, many market insiders pointed out that another reason why A-shares are not recommended to delay the opening of the market for too long is that A-shares have been included in their index system by MSCI, an internationally renowned index compiler, and the suspension of stocks is one of the important prerequisites for inclusion. At present, foreign capital plays an increasingly important role in the A-share market. If the market opening is delayed for too long, it will not only affect domestic investors, but global investors.
It is worth mentioning that the international market, which opened successively on January 27, Beijing time, has been the first to shake.
