Abstract
Portuguese Abstract: Com o presente estudo pretende-se contribuir para a compreensão da Corporate Finance Digital nesta nova era tecnológica. Concretamente, pretende-se analisar crítica e descritivamente se o risco associado à FinTech de high frequency trading, aumenta com o impacto de eventos catastróficos globais nos mercados financeiros, tais como a Pandemia de COVID-19. Neste sentido, em jeito de enquadramento, inclui-se uma análise descritiva da negociação algorítmica e do HFT que, além de abranger um brevíssimo resumo da evolução histórica, abrange ainda o enquadramento legal atual e a exposição das suas definições e principais características. A partir dessa primeira análise, pretende-se compreender não só o funcionamento do HFT, mas também as estratégias de negociação associadas e as respectivas formas de manipulação de mercado, que serão igualmente alvo de uma breve análise critica e descritiva. Considerados esses elementos, pretende-se apurar o possível aumento do risco sistémico associado ao HFT perante eventos catastróficos globais, essencialmente através da comparação histórica e dos dados relativos ao impacto inicial da Pandemia de COVID-19 nos Mercados Financeiros.English Abstract: The present study intends to contribute to the understanding of Digital Corporate Finance in this new technological era. Specifically, it is intended to critically and descriptively analyze whether the risk associated with high frequency trading FinTech increases with the impact of catastrophic global events on financial markets, such as the COVID-19 Pandemic. In this sense, as a framework, a descriptive analysis of algorithmic trading and the HFT is included, which, in addition to covering a very brief summary of historical evolution, also covers the current legal framework and the exposition of its definitions and main characteristics. From this first analysis, it is intended to understand not only the functioning of the HFT, but also the associated trading strategies and the respective forms of market manipulation, which will also be the subject of a brief critical and descriptive analysis. Considering these elements, it is intended to determine the possible increase in the systemic risk associated with the HFT in the face of global catastrophic events, essentially through historical comparison and data regarding the initial impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Financial Markets.
