An Additional Side Note…
In 2008, the Brazilian Mercantile & Future Exchange (BM&F) and the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange (BOVESPA) merged to form BM&F BOVESPA. This exchange is one of the largest in Latin America, and ranks fairly high among other world stock exchanges.
When Trading Halted On The BM&F BOVESPA…
The BM&F Bovespa was closed on the opening day of the World Cup football tournament; and operated with reduced hours on those days when Team Brazil was contesting.
The BM&FBovespa is considering a regulation that stock trading be halted for 30 minutes after events/special situations such as announcements of acquisitions or share buyback plans.
