The automatic halt, designed to curb panic selling, comes as heavyweights in the chip and tech sector led the index sharply lower, underscoring investor anxiety over the outlook for tech stocks.
Why now: A rare circuit breaker halt on a major index signals acute market stress and immediately draws global investor attention.
