Excuse me, could you please clarify for me what exactly STT stands for in the context of the stock market? I'm a bit unclear on the abbreviation and its significance in financial transactions. Could you elaborate on its purpose, how it's calculated, and perhaps give an example of when STT would be applicable? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
