Trading briefly halted for many New York Stock Exchange-listed stocks - CNN
Trading for dozens of companies on the New York Stock Exchange was briefly halted Tuesday just after the market opened.
Major names impacted included Verizon, McDonald’s, Morgan Stanley, AT&T and Nike, according to the NYSE.Many of those stocks made large moves just minutes into the morning trading session, sending companies like Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley into a nosedive.NYSE officials told CNN that the exchange “continues to investigate issues with today’s opening auction.”In a emailed statement, exchange officials said opening auctions “did not occur” for a number of stocks.“Impacted member firms may consider filing for Clearly Erroneous or Rule 18 Claims,” they added, meaning companies that saw their stocks halted can seek reimbursement for losses resulting from NYSE system failures.
