The Market Identification Code (MIC)(ISO 10383) is a unique identification code used to identify securities trading exchanges, regulated and non-regulated trading markets. For example, trades that are executed on the US NASDAQ market are identified using MIC code XNAS. The MIC is defined in ISO 10383 [1] by International Organization for Standardization (ISO)[2].
The MIC is used to identify the trading market in various communications like trade processing, settlement and other automated processes.
