<h1>Markets rally after central bank cuts rate; compliance, disclosure, margin and liquidity risks require heightened monitoring</h1> Stock markets rose for a third day after the US central bank reduced its policy rate by 25 basis points and signalled further cuts, lifting benchmark indices and select large-cap stocks while some heavyweights lagged. The moves may affect regulatory and compliance considerations for market participants, including disclosure obligations, portfolio risk management, and margin requirements amid heightened volatility. Continued foreign institutional selling, despite domestic gains, raises surveillance and liquidity risk issues for exchanges and custodians. Market participants should monitor central bank guidance, derivative positions, and capital adequacy measures to ensure compliance with exchange rules and investor-protection duties.
