Abstract

On the London Stock Exchange the publication of large trades is delayed to give the market‐maker concerned time to unwind the change in their inventory. Using trade and quotations data on 42 stocks for two years, a number of different effects are investigated. These include the association between trade size and the traded bid‐ask spread, the inventory control policies of individual market‐makers around large trades, the size and speed of the price impact of large trades whose publication is delayed, and the effects of delayed publication on the volume and spreads of the traded equity options market.
