London, UK -- (SBWire) -- 08/31/2021 --HFT Trading hit the headlines once again this year as it emerged that the Treasury had decided to commission an investigation into the impact that HFT Trading is having on the markets. No scope has yet been published for the investigation but it follows similar moves in the US where issues arising as a result of growth in HFT Trading (which now makes up 60% of trading on US equity markets and 30% in the UK) are also being looked into. One of the major concerns that the investigation is likely to focus on is the algorithmic nature of HFT Trading and the sizable and significant market disruption that could be the result of those algorithms failing. HFT Trading strategies are also likely to come under the spotlight - some are already earmarked as market abuse (e.g., spoofing) by the FSA. Of course, HFT Trading has many benefits too, including greater liquidity, and it's likely that the investigation will result in regulation that seeks to preserve these.
