Market manipulation

In economics and finance, market manipulation occurs when someone intentionally alters the supply or demand of a security to influence its price. This can involve spreading misleading information, executing misleading trades, or manipulating quotes and prices.[1][2][3]

Market manipulation is prohibited in most countries, in particular, it is prohibited in the United States under Section 9(a)(2)[4] of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in the European Union under Article 12 of the Market Abuse Regulation,[5] in Australia under Section 1041A of the Corporations Act 2001, and in Israel under Section 54(a) of the securities act of 1968. In the US, market manipulation is also prohibited for wholesale electricity markets under Section 222 of the Federal Power Act[6] and wholesale natural gas markets under Section 4A of the Natural Gas Act.[7]
