Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A trading halt is a circuit breaker that temporarily stops trading in all stocks listed on the NYSE in the event of a severe market downturn or technical glitch that could cause market instability. This takes effect for certain threshold limits being triggered, such as a 7%, 13%, or 20% decline in the S&P 500 during trading hours. The halt gives market participants time to digest news and make informed trading decisions, preventing panic selling or further market disruption.
