An exchange-mandated circuit breaker halted trading for 15 minutes for the second time in three days after the S&P 500 fell 7% from its Tuesday close.
Trading will pause again if the index drops 13% during Wednesday’s session -- a drop of that magnitude would bring the S&P to 2,200.39. A 20% intra-day drop would see markets close for the remainder of the session.
