Useful Information
Reuters Suffix: MX
Bloomberg Suffix: MM
Bolsa Mexicana has the power to halt trading in any stock for a variety of reasons including
large intraday price movements. An intraday price movement of 15% or more is the
benchmark for a trading halt. Once trading has been stopped, the Exchange will contact the
company and require it to submit a statement with information concerning the reasons for the
price movement. When the Exchange deems that sufficient information has been provided,
they will hold an auction for the stock and resume trading. Usually, trading resumes within 20
minutes of a trading halt, but the Exchange has the right to suspend trading indefinitely.
During a trading halt, Bolsa Mexicana will reject all new orders entered. Orders entered during
an auction will participate in the auction; however, execution is not guaranteed.
