Flash crash was sparked by single order
October 1, 2010--The flash crash of May 6 was sparked by a rapidly executed $4.1bn sale of stock index futures by a single institutional investor who was hedging against the risk of a market downturn, a report by leading US regulators said on Friday.
The 104-page report said the order was completed so quickly - in just 20 minutes - that it triggered wild automated selling by computer traders, which wiped out nearly $1,000bn off the value of US shares for a period of several minutes.

NYSE Announces Fourth-Quarter 2010 Circuit-Breaker Levels
September 30, 2010--The New York Stock Exchange will implement new circuit-breaker collar trigger levels for fourth-quarter 2010 effective Friday, October 1, 2010.
Circuit-breaker points represent the thresholds at which trading is halted marketwide for single-day declines in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). Circuit-breaker levels are set quarterly as 10, 20 and 30 percent of the DJIA average closing values of the previous month, rounded to the nearest 50 points.
In fourth-quarter 2010, the 10-, 20- and 30-percent decline levels, respectively, in the DJIA will be as follows:
Level 1 Halt
An 1,050-point drop in the DJIA before 2 p.m. will halt trading for one hour; for 30 minutes if between 2 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.; and have no effect if at 2:30 p.m. or later unless there is a level 2 halt.
Level 2 Halt
A 2,100-point drop in the DJIA before 1:00 p.m. will halt trading for two hours; for one hour if between 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.; and for the remainder of the day if at 2:00 p.m. or later.
Level 3 Halt
A 3,150-point drop will halt trading for the remainder of the day regardless of when the decline occurs.
Background:
Circuit-breakers are calculated quarterly. The percentage levels were first implemented in April 1998 and the point levels are adjusted on the first trading day of each quarter. In 2010, those dates are Jan. 2, April 1, July 1 and Oct. 1.

US bill raises concerns over trade war with China
September 30, 2010--Beijing warned Washington on Thursday that economic ties might be damaged after American lawmakers escalated the conflict over China’s currency controls, inching the two economic giants closer to a trade war.
The Commerce Ministry said a measure approved Wednesday by Congress to allow Washington to penalize governments that manipulate exchange rates violated free-trade rules. It gave no indication whether Beijing might retaliate, though it has imposed antidumping duties in recent months on imports of US chicken, steel and nylon.
