The trading halt of stocks for the purpose of disseminating material announcements by listed companies will be shortened to one hour from one trading session currently.

The new one-hour trading halt rule would be effective from August 3.

He added that the shortening of the halt period would “enhance market efficiency as trading interruption is kept to a minimum and both the issuer and investor will benefit from being able to trade with minimal interruptions”.
