Halt-by-Halt Summary
The most notable halts of the August 3 session were the two T1 news-pending halts on ABVC and AEMD, which were issued at 4:43 PM ET and 7:50 PM ET, respectively, with resumption status pending. In contrast to the LULD volatility pauses that dominated the session, these T1 halts represent regulatory pauses pending the release of material news, and they remain halted as of this report. The bulk of the day's activity consisted of persistent LULD volatility pauses concentrated in HYFM and PFAI, both of which triggered circuit breakers repeatedly throughout the afternoon.
What Is an LULD Halt?
A LULD halt pauses trading when a stock's price moves more than a defined percentage away from its recent five-minute average. The bands are 5% for most large-cap S&P 500 names, 10% for smaller stocks, and 20% for stocks under $3. Most LULD halts last five minutes.
What Does a T1 Halt Mean?
A T1 halt is a regulatory pause pending the release of material news. It has no fixed duration and resumes when the exchange determines an orderly market can be maintained.
Halt Code Reference
| Code | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | News pending | Trading paused pending the release of material news. |
| T2 | News released | The news has been released; the halt may be lifted. |
| T12 | Additional information requested | Exchange requests more information from the issuer. |
| M / LUDP | LULD volatility halt | Trading paused due to limit-up/limit-down price bands. |
| H10 / H11 | Regulatory / SEC | SEC or regulatory suspension of trading. |
| T6 | Extraordinary market activity | Halt due to unusual market activity across the exchange. |
