Oct. 28 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. securities industry
canceled all stock trading as a precaution to protect workers as
Hurricane Sandy barrels toward New York City, the Securities and
Exchange Commission said in a statement.
“The U.S. equity markets will not be open Monday because
of the impending storm,” SEC spokesman John Nester said in a
statement. “The decision was made by the market and market
participants after careful consideration in consultation with
the SEC. The SEC will continue to be in communication with the
markets as the situation warrants.”
NYSE Euronext said it supports "the consensus of the
markets and the regulatory community that the dangerous
conditions developing as a result of Hurricane Sandy will make
it extremely difficult to ensure the safety of our people and
communities, and safety must be our first priority,’’ according
to a statement from the exchange operator. “We will work with
the industry to determine the next steps in restoring trading as
soon as the situation permits.” |
