最近，港交所刊发咨询文件，就优化香港证券市场每手买卖单位框架的相关建议征询市场意见，以 提升交易、结算及交收效率。 根据咨询文件，适用证券的每手股数将整合为八种标准选项，同时下调每手价值的指引下限，并增 设指引上限。具体来看，八种每手股数包括1股、50股、100股、500股、1000股、2000股、5000股和1万 股。港交所表示，优化后每手价值的指引下限将由现行的2000元下调至1000元，以避免因每手价值过低 而出现"负价值交易"。 当然，对于发行规模较大的新股，可根据实际情况进行差异化安排。例如，当新股首发规模超过10 亿股时，可恢复500股的最小申报单位；若首发规模超过20亿股，则可进一步提高至1000股。总体而 言，应根据新股发行规模灵活调整最小申报单位，在保持合理中签率的同时，更好地满足中小投资者打 新的需求，这也是保护中小投资者利益的体现。（作者系财经评论员） 事实上，A股市场并非只有一只"千元股"。爱美客、石头科技、禾迈股份等个股都曾进入"千元 股"行列，目前寒武纪仍属其中。每手100股的交易规定，不仅将不少中小投资者挡在"千元股"之外，也 在一定程度上影响了这类股票的流动性。 因此，对于"千 ...
