Abstract

[fre] Les Bourses européennes de valeurs et de matières premières sont quasiment totalement électroniques. La négociation électronique représente, par ailleurs, la majeure partie des volumes échangés sur les places de Chicago. Toutefois, une analyse approfondie révèle qu’un marché sur lequel la négociation est faite à partir de nombreux écrans d’ordinateurs dispersés un peu partout n’est pas forcément plus efficace ni plus liquide, notamment pour les échéances longues, qu’un marché à la criée qui requiert de la place, un groupe de traders chevronnés et une équipe d’exécution très compétente employée par les sociétés représentées sur le parquet et par la Bourse elle-même. L’expérience du NYMEX démontre que la criée et la négociation électronique peuvent cohabiter. . Classification JEL : G14, G15, G18 [eng] Open outcry or electronic : it’s the market’s choice . The European stock and commodity exchanges are nearly all electronic. Electronic trading also accounts for most of the volume on the Chicago exchanges. A closer look however, shows that a market traded through numerous widely dispersed computer screens is not necessarily more efficient or more liquid, particularly in the longerdated months, than an open outcry market that requires substantial physical space, a cadre of highly skilled traders, and a large and highly skilled support staff employed by both the firms represented on the floor as well as the exchange itself. The experience at NYMEX shows that there is a place for both open outcry and electronic trading. . JEL classification : G14, G15, G18
