The relevant situation is now explained as follows:
I. Drafting background
In recent years, I will find that some traders repeatedly use programmed trading tools or self-media platforms to manipulate futures trading prices through false declarations, bewitching, grabbing hats and squeezing positions, thus disrupting the order of the futures market.
This kind of behavior is not explicitly prohibited by the Regulations on the Administration of Futures Trading, showing a trend of multiple occurrences, which needs to be regulated urgently.
Second, the main content
Article 8 of the Regulations. Article 1 is the basis of formulation. Articles 2 to 5 explicitly prohibit four kinds of manipulation of futures trading prices, such as false declaration, demagoguery, hat grabbing and hoarding. Article 6 is the bottom clause, article 7 is the liability clause, and article 8 is the implementation date clause.
