Stock market regulations

Stock market regulations are rules and laws designed to ensure fair, transparent, and efficient trading. They require companies to disclose accurate financial information, preventing fraud and manipulation. Regulatory bodies, like the SEC in the U.S., oversee market activities, enforce compliance, and protect investors from unfair practices. These regulations also set standards for trading venues, establish rules for insider trading, and impose penalties for violations. Overall, they aim to create a trustworthy environment where investors can buy and sell securities with confidence, fostering stability and integrity in the financial markets.
