  • Declaration

    Declaration form for Australian residency status for tax purposes

    All assessment income earned in Australia is subject to taxation. This includes income from corporate actions such as dividends. The amount of tax to be withheld depends on whether the recipient is a resident/non-resident of Australia or in the case of non-resident, if the country has a treaty with Australia. In this aspect, customer is required to make a one-time declaration on their Australian Residency Status and hence the tax rates applicable to him.

    Customers who wish to trade in Australia Exchange are required to sign and submit the original declaration form to OCBC Securities before commencement of trading. 

    For more details on the rules and guidelines on Australian Residency for Tax Purposes, you may visit the Australian Taxation Office website at http://www.ato.gov.au.

  • Closing Auction Session (CAS)

    What is Closing Auction Session?
    The Closing Auction Session is a market structure change implemented by the HKEX. During the session, market participants interested in trading at the closing price may input buy and sell orders. These orders will interact with each other to form a consensus closing price for each security and orders are executed at that price. The CAS commences immediately after the Continuous Trading Session and will last for about 8 to 10 minutes.

    Effective 8 October 2019, the list of securities covered by CAS expands to include all equities (including depositary receipts, investment companies, preference shares and stapled securities), as well as funds (including exchange traded funds (ETFs) and real estate investment trusts). 

    For the list of CAS securities, please refer to the "CAS Eligible" indicator under the Full List of Securities available on HKEX website.

    For more information, please refer to HKEX’s CAS Microsite and FAQ.

     

    How to submit orders for Closing Auction Session in iOCBC?
    Open orders from Continuous Trading Session will automatically carry over into CAS if order price is within price limit. Clients can also submit the following order types to participate during CAS.

    • At-auction;
    • At-auction Limit; and
    • Limit (will be automatically converted to At-auction Limit order by iOCBC).
    • Enhanced Limit (will be automatically converted to At-auction Limit order by iOCBC).

    During the Reference Price Fixing Period, the exchange does not accept new orders. Hence, orders submitted to iOCBC during this period will be stored and released during the Order Input Period.

  • Volatility Control Mechanism (VCM)

    What is Volatility Control Mechanism?

    The VCM is based on the regulatory guidance of the Group of Twenty (G20) and International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), and is designed to prevent extreme price volatility from trading incidents such as a “flash crash” and algorithm errors, and to address systemic risks from the inter-connectedness of securities and derivatives markets. Many international exchanges have implemented some form of volatility control mechanisms to control extreme price volatility.

     

    HKEX’s VCM

    HKEX VCM will trigger a cooling-off period for 5 minutes if the price deviates more than a predefined percentage within a specific time frame. The VCM for the securities market will be implemented on 22 August 2016. For more information, please refer to HKEX’s VCM microsite and FAQ.

     

    Instruments covered under the VCM

    In the securities market, VCM will only be applied to Hang Seng Index (HSI) and Hang Seng China Enterprises Index (HSCEI) constituent stocks (together the VCM securities). You can also refer to the finalised list of the VCM securities.

    For more information, please refer to HKEX’s Trading Mechanism of Volatility Control Mechanism (VCM).

    REVISION OF STRUCTURED WARRANTS REFERENCE PRICE AND STATIC PRICE LIMITS

    Please be informed that effective 19 June 2017, the calculation of Reference Price and Static Price Limits of Structured Warrants in Bursa Malaysia will be revised.

    The revision is applicable to Normal Market, Odd Lot Marker and Buying-In Market segments.

    Currently the Reference Price refers to the closing price/previous close price.

    The following are the key points of the revision:

    1) When there is any trade executed in the 1st Trading Session 

    • The Last Done Price at the Completion of the 1st  Trading Session will be the Reference Price for the 2nd Trading Session. 
    • Static Price Limits for the 2nd Trading Session will be based on the Reference Price. 

    2) If there is NO TRADE EXECUTED in the 1st Trading Session 

    • If there is a BUY (or SELL)  order at the Upper Limit or (as the case may be) Lower Limit Price, then the Reference Price for the 2nd Trading Session is the Upper Limit  Price or (as the case may be) the Lower Limit Price at the end of the 1st Trading Session; or
    •  Reference Price of the 1st Trading Session.
    •  Static Price Limits for the 2nd Trading Session will be based on the Reference Price. 

    3) At 12:35pm, all active orders residing in the Normal and Odd Lot Market segments will be revalidated against the new Static Price Limits. Orders which are outside the 30% (or 30 percent) band of the Static Price Limits will be purged by the Exchange trading system

    4) If there is one or more trades executed in a Trading Day or Half Trading Day, the Closing Price will be the Reference Price at the start of the next Trading Day. 

    5) Kindly note that this change is not applicable on the first day of listing/quotation.
