The issuance of this Code comes within the framework of the Qatar Financial Markets Authority's endeavors to achieve the objectives of maintaining confidence in the financial markets trading system, protecting securities owners and dealers, stabilizing the financial markets, and reducing any concomitant risks. Such code comes within the framework of the Authority's legislations issued to regulate financial market activities with a view to promoting the values of fairness, competitiveness and transparency among financial market dealers, as well as educating investors in general about the accepted ethics and Code of conduct in the market, and how to avoid malpractices, illicit dealings and illegal activities. The provisions of this Code apply to any deceptive or misleading act or conduct in accordance with the provisions of the Authority's legislations. The illustrations included in the Code are only examples of prohibited acts and behaviors in the market. The Code of Market Conduct is the first legislation of its kind issued by the Authority and addressed to all ordinary investors and traders. According to the code, promoting the purchase of a security for the purpose of selling it or to enable another person to sell it, and promoting the sale of a security for the purpose of buying it or to enable another person to buy it, constitutes manipulation or misleading actions that would give or likely to give a false or misleading impression regarding the supply of or demand for a security. It is also considered manipulation or misleading that would give or likely to give a false or misleading impression regarding the supply or demand for a security, entering orders to buy or sell a security with the purpose of creating a false impression about the size of demand or supply, entering a large number of orders, updating orders, or canceling orders for a security with the purpose of misleading investors, or making it more difficult to identify real orders in the orders' register. It is also considered manipulation or misleading actions that may give or are likely to give a false or misleading impression of the existence of trading activity in a security or a request to buy or sell it, conducting trading transactions that result in the transfer of ownership of the security between the accounts of the same person or accounts managed by the same person or between colluding parties with the purpose of creating a false impression about the actual trading volume, and conducting transactions or issuing orders on a security with the purpose of creating a false impression about trading in the security. The Code of Market Conduct sets that Entering one or more purchase orders to support the price of a security with the purpose of executing one or more sell orders, and canceling the purchase orders after executing the sell order; Entering one or more orders to buy or sell a security without really intending to execute the orders by canceling them after their partial execution and doing so repeatedly; and Conducting transactions on the same security by a liquidity provider licensed to practice the activity of a market maker for the account of the liquidity provider and for the account of the market maker, are considered manipulation or misleading actions that may give or are likely to give a false or misleading impression of the existence of trading activity in a security or a request to buy or sell it. According to the code, the following conducts constitute manipulation or misleading actions that would fix the price or create an artificial price for a security in a manner that gives or is likely to give a false or misleading impression: Buying or selling a security at the opening or closing of a trading session or at the end of any quarterly, semi-annual or annual reference period, with the purpose of controlling the level of the reference price or creating an artificial reference price to mislead investors; Entering or executing orders to buy a security at prices that increase successively, or in a pattern of successively increasing prices; Entering or executing orders to sell a security at successively decreasing prices, or in a pattern of successively decreasing prices; Entering or executing orders of an individual, or colluding individuals, with the purpose of controlling the supply, demand, or price of a security; Executing one or more orders to buy or sell a security repeatedly with the purpose of influencing its price; Collusion of subscribers who were allocated securities during the initial offering in order to purchase other shares of the security as soon as it starts trading in the market with the purpose of creating an unreal price or deceiving investors into believing that there is a high demand for it with the purpose of selling their subscribed shares; Entering or executing one or more orders to buy or sell a security with the purpose of keeping the price within artificial price limits; and Executing one or more orders of an individual or colluding individuals on a security or securities with the purpose of manipulating the market indicators.

South Africa, New Zealand seek limited-overs silverware in rare showdown
South Africa will re-embark on an agonising quest for their first piece of ICC silverware since 1998 when they face New Zealand in Wednesday's semifinal of the Champions Trophy in Lahore, the scene of a high-scoring tussle between the duo last month. The pair have faced each other in the 50-over format just twice since 2019 - most recently in Lahore in a Tri-Series fixture on February 10. South Africa batted first and posted 304 for six, but their inexperienced bowling line-up could not contain the New Zealanders, who won by six wickets with eight balls to spare. South Africa will pack much more of a punch in the bowling department this time round, with fast bowlers Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen as well as wily spinner Keshav Maharaj in their attack. "We know how strong South Africa are. They've got all bases covered in terms of batting, bowling and in the field. I'm sure it'll be a fantastic game," New Zealand batter Tom Latham said. South Africa have reached the semifinals or finals of ICC tournaments on 13 occasions across both limited-overs formats and only have the 1998 Champions Trophy title to show for it. They made the semifinals of the 50-over World Cup in 2023 but lost to Australia, and the final of last year's T20 World Cup, where they lost to India despite seeming certain victors. They will also play in the final of the World Test Championship against Australia at Lord's in June. This experience of reaching the knockouts of tournaments will hold them in good stead, according to all-rounder Jansen. "I wouldn't say the mindset changes, it's just the occasion that's probably a bit more hyped up," Jansen said. "You stick to your processes. It's just having your steps or guides that you follow in every match, and then in the semifinals, you try to execute them extraordinarily well." New Zealand's record is not dissimilar. Their only ICC limited-overs tournament win came in the 2000 Champions Trophy, and there have also been several near misses down the years. South Africa have called up spinning all-rounder George Linde as cover for Aiden Markram, who hurt his hamstring in the seven wicket win over England in their final pool game. Linde arrives in Lahore on Tuesday night, so is highly unlikely to feature on Wednesday. His selection as a travelling reserve may be more looking ahead to a possible final against India on a slower track in Dubai on Sunday.
