FINRA Extends Trading Halt Pilot

July 24, 2012
[ by Howard Haykin ] FINRA filed for immediate effectiveness to amend FINRA Rule 6121, Trading Halts Due to Extraordinary Market Volatility, which currently is scheduled to expire on 7/31/12.  The amendment extends the pilot until 2/4/13. FINRA Rule 6121.01 provides that ... if a primary listing market has issued an individual stock trading pause under its rules, FINRA will halt trading otherwise than on an exchange in that security until trading has resumed on the primary listing market.  The pilot was developed and implemented as a market-wide initiative by FINRA and other SROs in consultation with SEC staff, and currently applies to all NMS stocks (other than rights and warrants) and specified exchange-traded products covered by the trading pause pilot rules of a primary listing market. The extension allows the pilot to continue to operate without interruption. For further details, go to:  [FINRA Rule Filing 12-37, 7/23/12].
