o Auction markets
- Auction markets
▪ The prevailing type of market in the leading financial centres at present is the auction.
▪ Auction markets can take two forms:
• call markets or
• continuous auctions.
▪ In call (or batch) auctions, orders are submitted simultaneously, whereas in continuous
auctions agents can submit orders at any time during the trading phase.
▪ In auction markets, there are two basic types of order –
• limit orders and
• market orders.
▪ A limit order specifies both a quantity and a maximum price or minimum price for execution
depending on whether it is a buy or a sell order.
▪ A market order only specifies a quantity and will be executed at the best price available.
