I posted about this earlier. The U.S. is about to discover what a free market is for the first time.

I am sure it will happen both ways at some point but 10% in 5 minutes is a lot. Not likely to be a common occurrence. Also, not sure how this works with commodity etfs when the underlying is still trading in the spot market.

On NYSE, level 1 circuit breaking pause kicks in at 7%. Amount is based on previous day's closing price. Closing price is on ETF.
Therefore, there will be some crazy days when the ETF lags spot substantially. I don't know where he got 10% in 5 minutes. Maybe that's a halt for the day, but level one pauses will still be crazy.

Good point but I don’t recall ever seeing oil etfs for instance being halted because of a 7% overnight move. Which you don’t see often but happens occasionally.

Remember this? It wasn't even an ETF, but the actual commodity.

It was the LME, but they could do it in the U.S. too. Commodity ETF follow same exchange rules as equities.

I'm trying hard to understand. This means that if I wanted to open a trade or close one when circuit breakers are in effect, I can't. And then what? I can open or close a trade when the circuit breaker is taken off. Is this like when shady exchanges claim they can't process orders when price gyrates and then people get upset?
Does this also mean that it aims to suppress volatility in the market, by design?

Check this out:

Short answer is yes. NYSE, Nasdaq suppresses volatility by design.
