The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is a U.S. government agency responsible for regulating the securities industry, enforcing laws against market manipulation, and ensuring transparency in financial markets. In trading, the SEC plays a crucial role in protecting investors by enforcing regulations on public companies, brokers, and exchanges. Traders must comply with SEC rules, such as disclosure requirements and insider trading laws, to ensure fair and orderly markets and to avoid legal repercussions.
