Aided by the launch of a new trading tool in January, the local stock exchange registered its highest volume of trading activity in its history during a five-day period that ended Wednesday.
From June 16 to 20, trading activity spiked at the Cambodian Stock Exchange (CSX). On the 19 and 20, the days of highest activity, share trade was valued at $71,000 and $105,000, respectively.
By comparison, $8,400 are traded at CSX per day on average.
The rise in trading activity was partially made possible by Market Order, a new tool that allows investors to trade shares at the best price available in the market, CSX said.
