Può l'IA guidare il 90% del volume degli scambi ad alta frequenza prevedendo e modellando gli eventi della microstruttura del mercato prima che si verifichino ?

I modelli di intelligenza artificiale stanno rapidamente superando i trader umani in termini di latenza e riconoscimento di pattern. Simulando interi ecosistemi di mercato, questi sistemi potrebbero manipolare in modo preventivo i flussi di ordini, innescando effetti a cascata. Le autorità di regolamentazione faticano a rilevare o contenere una tale destabilizzazione automatizzata.

Background

AI models are rapidly outpacing human traders in latency and pattern recognition. By simulating entire market ecosystems, these systems could preemptively manipulate order flows, triggering cascading effects. Regulators struggle to detect or contain such automated destabilization. Today’s best AI systems can model order-book dynamics and microsecond-scale liquidity imbalances well enough to anticipate short-term price moves with modest accuracy, but they rarely drive anything close to 90 percent of high-frequency trading volume. Firms combine machine-learning signals with colocation, FPGA-accelerated execution, and regulatory-compliant arbitrage strategies to achieve sub-10-millisecond latency, yet they still depend on human oversight for risk controls and fail to predict or shape most microstructure events before they occur. Evidence from exchange-level data shows peak AI-driven participation around 30–40 percent of notional volume in the most liquid futures and equities markets. — Enriched May 10, 2026 · Source: Bank for International Settlements
