As per the Reuters report, NYSE traders revealed that the exchange will offer a “weekend production testing opportunity” so that firms could “exercise their IPO trading logic”.
“It’s a big deal and they clearly want to make sure it goes smoothly—you can’t fault them for that,” said Ken Polcari, director of the NYSE floor division at O’Neil Securities in New York. “They want to make sure the systems are a ‘go’ and there are no glitches or bugs in the system, so it is just a course of action.” (Image- REUTERS/Brendan McDermid)
