RE:Market Maker Question Hello all!
Integral will provide liquidity for sure but the mandate is more about trying to make the ride up and down a bit gentler. In times of price change they've done a really good job of this.
This is all on relatively very low volume though. When you see blocks and walls those are people, not the market maker. Think more about the bids and/or asks at 500 shares, not 120000.
no market maker can or is tasked with a target share price, ours included, so they're not acting on instructions from anyone at LME to get the stock to any price.
hope that helps,
Steve
