At the same time, market makers will give full play to their professional pricing capabilities, promote the matching of stock prices with the intrinsic value of enterprises, and smooth the large fluctuations in stock prices, which is conducive to the improvement of market stability and lays a solid foundation for the high-quality expansion and development of CBEX.
