Suspended trading refers to the temporary halt in the trading of a particular security or financial instrument on a stock exchange or other trading platform. Trading may be suspended for various reasons, including the announcement of significant news or events related to the security, a potential violation of regulatory requirements, or a technical issue that affects the trading platform. When trading is suspended, investors are unable to buy or sell the security until trading resumes. The duration of a trading suspension can vary depending on the reason for the suspension, and can range from a few minutes to several weeks or more.
