Stressed market conditions widen permitted spreads
The immediate change is to the spread market makers are allowed to quote in the affected derivatives. The notice permits twice the normal spread; it does not establish that all quotes have widened to that limit.
Nasdaq says it calls stressed market conditions when the underlying asset experiences high, short-term intraday volatility or when other factors create substantial uncertainty in derivatives pricing. The announcement does not identify a specific trigger for either Dometic or Scatec.
Four-hour period followed by reassessment
At the end of the four-hour period, Nasdaq will assess whether market conditions still justify the designation. The notice therefore provides for a review rather than confirming that the measure will automatically end after four hours.
The announcement directs readers to an accompanying PDF for contact details.
Conclusion
The decision temporarily increases permitted quoting spreads for DOM and SCATC derivatives, with any continuation subject to Nasdaq’s assessment after four hours.
