<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Price limit''' refers to the maximum or minimum price set by a regulatory authority or an exchange for a particular [[security]], [[commodity]], or [[financial instrument]] during a trading session. Price limits are designed to prevent extreme volatility and protect investors from significant losses.<br />
<br />
==Types of Price Limits==<br />
Price limits can be categorized into two main types:<br />
* '''Upper Price Limit''': The highest price at which a security or commodity can be traded during a trading session.<br />
* '''Lower Price Limit''': The lowest price at which a security or commodity can be traded during a trading session.<br />
<br />
==Purpose of Price Limits==<br />
The primary purposes of price limits include:<br />
* Preventing [[market manipulation]] and excessive speculation.<br />
* Reducing [[market volatility]] and maintaining orderly trading.<br />
* Protecting investors from sudden and significant losses.<br />
* Allowing time for the dissemination of important information.<br />
<br />
==Implementation of Price Limits==<br />
Price limits are commonly used in [[stock exchanges]], [[commodity exchanges]], and [[futures markets]]. The specific limits can vary depending on the exchange and the type of security or commodity being traded. For example, the [[New York Stock Exchange]] (NYSE) and the [[Chicago Mercantile Exchange]] (CME) have their own rules and thresholds for price limits.<br />
<br />
==Price Limit Rules==<br />
Different exchanges have different rules for implementing price limits. Some common rules include:<br />
* '''Daily Price Limits''': The maximum and minimum prices at which a security or commodity can be traded within a single trading day.<br />
* '''Circuit Breakers''': Mechanisms that temporarily halt trading if the price of a security or index moves beyond a certain threshold within a short period.<br />
<br />
==Examples of Price Limits==<br />
* In the [[futures market]], price limits are often set as a percentage of the previous day's closing price.<br />
* In the [[stock market]], price limits can be set as fixed dollar amounts or percentages of the current trading price.<br />
<br />
==Criticism of Price Limits==<br />
While price limits are intended to stabilize markets, they can also have some drawbacks:<br />
* They may delay the natural price discovery process.<br />
* They can create artificial barriers that prevent the market from reaching its equilibrium price.<br />
* In some cases, they may lead to increased volatility once the limits are lifted.<br />
