Regulator Changes Single Stock Circuit Breakers

The financial markets regulator in this country temporarily modified its single-stock circuit breaker trigger levels given the potential for increased volatility on Wednesday, this in the wake of Donald Trump's stunning victory over Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House.

The regulator said qualifying securities could experience price changes of at least 20% and 40 trading increments in a five-minute period through the first six hours of the trading day. Securities are normally restricted to a 10% move for most of the trading day.
