I don’t have live access to current news in this moment. If you’d like, I can summarize the concept of tick size and point you to reliable sources, or I can fetch the latest updates if you authorize a quick web search.
Here’s a quick primer and how to find the latest:
- What is tick size? It’s the minimum price increment at which a security can trade. For many U.S. equities, it has historically been $0.01, with pilots and proposals exploring larger or smaller increments to affect liquidity and trading behavior.[6]
- Why news around tick size matters: regulators run pilots and rulemakings to study whether changing tick sizes improves liquidity, spreads, and price discovery for smaller-cap stocks, often involving public comment periods and pilot data releases.[2][3][4]
- Recent regulatory context (how to look up latest): search for “SEC tick size final rule 2024 2025” or “Tick Size Pilot Program 2016 2018 updates” to catch the latest status, data releases, and any final rule decisions.[7][2]
If you want, I can perform a fresh search now and summarize the most recent developments with citations. Would you like me to do that?
