Title: Concept Release: Competitive Developments in the Options Markets
Abstract: The Commission published a concept release discussing changes in the U.S. options market since the start of widespread multiple trading of options in 1999 that have had the greatest impact on competition. The release sought comment on, among other things, the impact on the marketplace of payment for order flow, specialist guarantees, and internalization; whether the Commission should extend Exchange Act Rules 11Ac1-4 and 11Ac1-5 to the options markets; and whether options should be quoted in penny increments. The Division is considering whether to recommend further action to the Commission.
