Nasdaq PHLX LLC has filed a proposed rule change with the Securities and Exchange Commission to update its pricing schedule for certain options trades. The changes include offering a rebate to customers and charging a fee to non-customers for specific trades involving SPY options. Additionally, the exchange plans to charge a stock handling fee for stock-option orders and increase a surcharge on electronic complex orders that remove liquidity in Penny Symbols, excluding those involving SPY. The proposal is available for public comment until March 12, 2025, and details are accessible on both the Nasdaq and SEC websites.
Simple Explanation
Nasdaq is changing some rules about trading certain types of stock options (like SPY) so that people who trade will either pay a little extra fee or get a small bonus, depending on if they're regular customers or not. They're also making some changes to fees for special stock and option orders, and they're inviting people to say what they think about these plans before it becomes final.
