U.S. Equity Market Sets Circuit Breaker Levels: 7% at 5018.76, 13% at 4694.97, 20% at 4317.22

The U.S. equity market has established circuit breaker levels to manage trading during significant declines. The first level, a 7% decline, triggers a 15-minute halt at 5018.76. The second level, a 13% decline, also results in a 15-minute halt at 4694.97, but trading will not be halted if the decline occurs after 3:25 PM ET. The third level, a 20% decline, leads to trading being halted for the remainder of the day at 4317.22. These rules have been in place since 2013 and are designed to prevent panic selling during market downturns.
