High-Frequency Trading Conference to Recap Senator Dodd's Congressional Hearings on Electronic Trading

New York, NY, May 12, 2010 --(PR.com)-- While announcing that his committee will hold hearings on last Thursday's events tomorrow in Washington DC, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd said that for now the priority is for the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to come up quickly with answers for dealing with high-frequency trading marked by a lack of marketwide circuit breakers to prevent the market from spiraling out of control, reported the Associated Press.

"Dodd said he did not see a need for new legislation. The financial overhaul bill now being debated in the Senate does have early warning systems to detect problems such as having circuit breakers at only one exchange, he said. 'You shouldn't have a crisis like this happen before noticing that,' he said. Dodd noted that the freefall on Wall Street occurred when there was good economic news: a sharp growth in jobs, particularly in the manufacturing sector. 'So you are getting sort of this casino environment that's appearing in our markets,' he said. 'It does not reflect what's going on in the real economy.'"
