Amid hectic scenes on the market floor, trading was suspended twice. When the second suspension was triggered, business was halted for the day. By then, the Dow Jones index has fallen by 554 points, the steepest fall since the market crash of 1987. The United’ States Treasury tried to calm the market, stressing the strength of the American economy. Throughout the day, the Treasury has been in touch with officials of the Federal Reserve, the Securities Exchange Commission and other members of the working group on financial markets.  Measures to halt trading temporarily on days like today went into effect automatically as designed.
