New circuit breaker rules passed by SEC for all exchanges

June 11, 2010 : Permanent Link

The SEC announced today that it passed the proposed circuit breaker rules for all exchanges. It released separate orders for FINRA and other SROs and electronic trading exchanges. As a primary component of the rules, circuit breakers will now be triggered if a stock falls 10 percent or more within a five-minute period. In that situation, trading in the security would be halted for five minutes. The rules apply to all S&P 500 stocks and implementation will begin as soon as Friday, June 11, 2010. The rules will be in effect through December 10, 2010 as a pilot study.
