Summary
The Shanghai Stock Exchange is soliciting public comments on revised Trading Rules that would expand after-hours fixed-price trading from STAR Market stocks to all A-shares and exchange traded funds (ETFs), adjust fund closing auction from continuous to call auction, and raise the price limit ratio for Main Board risk-warning stocks from 5% to 10%. The consultation closes April 20, 2026.
What changed
The Shanghai Stock Exchange proposes three major revisions to its Trading Rules: (1) expanding after-hours fixed-price trading eligibility from STAR Market stocks to all A-shares and ETFs, extending trading hours and facilitating medium and long-term fund entry; (2) changing fund closing auction from continuous to call auction to improve price stability and consistency with SSE-listed stocks; (3) incorporating previously consulted provisions raising Main Board risk-warning stock price limits from 5% to 10%, with additional rule expression revisions and disciplinary action optimizations.
Affected parties including broker-dealers, investors, and public companies listed on SSE should review the draft rules and submit comments by the April 20, 2026 deadline. Broker-dealers will need to prepare for extended trading hours and modified closing auction procedures for ETFs. Public companies on the Main Board with risk-warning status will see their daily price movement limits doubled, affecting volatility parameters for affected securities.

SSE Solicits Public Comments on Revision of the Trading Rules of Shanghai Stock Exchange
10 Apr 2026 To further optimize the securities trading mechanism, promote stable market operation and better meet investors' needs, Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE), under the overall guidance of China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), formulated Trading Rules of Shanghai Stock Exchange (Draft for Comments) and is now soliciting public comments on relevant matters.
The revisions mainly include: First, the scope of securities eligible for after-hours fixed-price trading will be expanded from STAR Market stocks to all A-shares and exchange traded funds (ETFs). This adjustment helps satisfy investors' demand for trading at closing prices, extends trading hours for related products, and facilitates the entry of medium and long-term funds into the market. Second, the trading method for funds during the closing auction period will be adjusted from continuous auction to closing call auction, with closing prices determined through call auction, which is consistent with SSE-listed stocks. This change will further enhance price stability and pricing efficiency during the closing auction period of funds and improve consistency of market mechanisms. Third, adaptive revisions will be made in line with rule changes and business needs. These include incorporating relevant provisions of the Notice on Adjusting the Price Limit Ratio for Daily Price Movement of Risk-Warning Stocks on the Main Board and Related Matters, for which public comments were previously solicited, into this revision, raising the price limit ratio for daily price movement of Main Board risk-warning stocks from 5% to 10%; revising rule expressions; and optimizing provisions concerning disciplinary actions and other related matters.
All market participants are welcome to propose valuable suggestions on these revision arrangements. The SSE will carefully study and accept reasonable opinions and recommendations. Going forward, the SSE will, in accordance with the unified arrangements of the CSRC, continue to improve the basic trading system, strengthen trading supervision, and earnestly protect the legitimate rights and interests of investors.
