Night City Stock Exchange and Trade Center Building
The Night City Stock Exchange and Trade Center Building was located in the Bank Block district of Central Night City.
Overview
These buildings were the Night City seat of the World Stock Exchange. It contained trading areas for all of the world's major securities, stock and commodities markets, as well as brokerage offices for several firms. Included for each market were computer marketing and telecommunications areas, which handled part of the business automatically, and trading pits where deals were made in the good, old-fashioned push-and-shove manner. Depending on the market or particular commodity, deals were either processed strictly through computer, or by humans in the pit. Proper identification was required to get to the electronic sales areas or the pits.
The building was active 24 hours a day, as there was always a market open somewhere. Security at the exchange was provided by a detachment of the NCPD. Computer security was extremely heavy, to prevent tampering with world markets. A branch of the stock exchange was located in another building in the city.[1]
The stock exchange and surrounding buildings were destroyed during the Night City Holocaust, when one of the collapsing Arasaka Towers fell on top, obliterating everything in its path.[2]
