NYSE Euronext is revising pricing for equities trading on the New York Stock Exchange and NYSE Arca, Inc., in an effort to shore up its share of trading volume.

For trading on NYSE and NYSE Arca in “Tape A” Securities, the exchange will: increase the rebate on NYSE Arca from 20¢ to 25¢ per 100 shares for all customers; charge no fees for liquidity providers on the NYSE, while charging liquidity takers 8¢ per 100 shares; provide free agency block crosses on the NYSE and fee caps on mega block trades when committing capital; increase routing fees from 25¢ to 30¢ per 100 shares; and, allow free routing to the NYSE from NYSE Arca using its new Primary Sweep Order.

For trading in Nasdaq-listed securities on NYSE Arca, the new plan reduces NYSE Arca’s take fee from 30¢ to 25¢ per 100 shares for all customers. “This new fee structure is expected to improve NYSE Arca’s positioning in order routing, while rewarding liquidity providers with better fill rates,” it adds.

The changes are expected to be effective Oct. 1. The NYSE says that the new fee schedules are designed to ensure continued market leadership in NYSE-listed securities trading on the NYSE and NYSE Arca, and to enhance its share of trading in Nasdaq-listed securities on NYSE Arca.

“This is a dual-market-model approach to pricing on our two U.S. exchanges that gives our customers flexibility in accessing low transaction costs and superior liquidity when trading NYSE and Nasdaq-listed securities,” said Duncan Niederauer, president & co-chief operating officer.
