As the minutes tick down to 4 p.m. each trading day, a crucial process plays out in the U.S. stock market. Bats Global Markets wants to shake up how it works.
Bats, recently acquired by CBOE Holdings Inc., is debuting a new way to execute orders during the daily closing auctions, according to a statement Monday.
