Stop trade

Напугавшись обвалом от 6 мая регуляторы и биржи решили ввести опцию притормаживания торгов:

Executives from NYSE Euronext and Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. said in congressional testimony last week they support temporary halts for individual stocks when they fall 10 percent or more over preset time periods.

Under the proposal, primary listing markets would be responsible for restarting trading in the stock. Should that take longer than 10 minutes, other markets would be allowed to trade the stock. If the listing market is having technical problems, other markets can restart trading after five minutes.

The trial would begin June 7 for a smaller group of stocks, with circuit breakers extended to all S&P 500 companies by June 14, according to the people. It would expire on Dec. 10.
