Tehran Stock Market Trading Rules Tweaked

Tehran Stock Exchange and Iran Fara Bourse – an over-the-counter market for securities and other financial instruments in Tehran - announced changes in trading procedures as part of new directives. 
The first change concerns shortening the period that a share is halted due to its fluctuations from one day to one hour. 

"Stock tickers used to be halted for a whole business day for clarification purposes which blocked brokers funds", Seyyed Mehdi Parchini, TSE's market operation manager was quoted as saying by Security and Exchange News Agency. 
"But as the new directives stipulate, this period is shortened to one hour within which investors are allowed to place, revise or cancel an order."  
Afsaneh Orouji, Iran Fara Bourse's market operation and members manager said if the final price of shares witnesses over 50% decrease or increase for 15 consecutive days its symbol is halted and reopened after maximum two days with a "limited fluctuation range".
