Abu dhabi: The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) Group today announced the removal of daily price limits for Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and futures contracts listed on the Exchange, reinforcing its commitment to a more efficient, liquid, and investor-responsive market. This change will take effect from 3rd August 2026.
According to Emirates News Agency, the initiative is designed to support more efficient price formation, continuous liquidity provision, and smoother trading for investors. By enabling ETFs and futures prices to reflect new information in real time, ADX aims to reduce trading disruptions like trading halts and pauses caused by daily bands, while enhancing the quality of market price formation and efficiency.
As the most liquid ETF hub in the MENA region, ADX offers a broad range of products, including thematic and Sharia-compliant funds. The removal of price limits further enhances the platform's advantages for investors seeking efficient investment execution and diversified exposure.
The move also supports the ongoing development of ADX's derivatives market by providing investors with greater flexibility to hedge exposures and implement investment strategies without the constraints of trading price limits.
The removal of price limits for ETFs and futures contracts aligns with ADX's broader strategy to provide investors with greater agility and modern market infrastructure that supports efficient capital allocation, enhanced liquidity, and advanced risk management. ADX will continue to manage intraday volatility, including temporary trading pauses in exceptional circumstances to maintain an orderly market.
