Stock Exchange Oversight

Stock exchange oversight refers to the regulations and monitoring practices that ensure the fair and orderly operation of stock markets. Governments and regulatory bodies, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the U.S., oversee trading activities to prevent fraud, insider trading, and market manipulation. This oversight helps maintain investor confidence, ensures transparency, and protects investors’ interests. By enforcing rules and standards, these regulators promote a level playing field for all market participants, fostering a stable and efficient financial environment for buying and selling stocks.
