What action is the Trading Surveillance Office not permitted to execute?

The Trading Surveillance Office plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the trading environment. While it has significant authority in monitoring and ensuring compliance with trading regulations, there are limitations to its powers.

One key aspect is that the Trading Surveillance Office does not have the authority to suspend trading based solely on a suspicion of violations. This type of action typically requires substantial evidence or an official procedure to ensure that due process is followed. Other authorities or regulatory bodies may need to be involved in determining whether trading should be suspended based on concrete violations rather than merely on suspicion.

In contrast, the office is permitted to conduct inspections of business premises, demand trading information from participants, and access trading records. These actions are essential for both proactively monitoring trading activities and investigating any irregularities or potential violations that may arise. Thus, its focus is on oversight and compliance rather than directly imposing punitive measures such as suspending trading without sufficient justification.
