New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/28/2011 -- Golden Networking’s High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2011 Singapore (http://www.HFTLeadersForum.com), conference that will provide the most up-to-date overview of cutting-edge developments and insights to build a competitive advantage in high-frequency trading to investors and traders.

According to Bloomberg’s Michael Heath, high-frequency trading, in which firms use computers to buy and sell thousands of times securities a second, may reduce liquidity amid market stress, Reserve Bank of Australia Assistant Governor Guy Debelle said.

“While liquidity is improved in normal times, HFT is causing changes in the ecology of the market which result in a worsening of liquidity in stressed circumstances,” Debelle said in prepared remarks for a speech in Sydney today.

High-frequency traders came under increased regulatory scrutiny following the so-called flash crash in May of last year, during which the Dow Jones Industrial Average briefly lost almost 1,000 points. Debelle chaired a Bank for International Settlements study group that examined such trading in currency markets, in particular around the Dow Jones incident and when the yen soared in March of this year.

“The general sense of the evidence from May 2010 is that HFT participants were very active in the foreign-exchange market before, during and after the time of the flash crash,” Debelle told the ACI High Frequency Trading Conference.
