Bolsa Mexicana de Valores halts trading on select stocks ahead of session open
Mexico’s primary stock exchange, the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores (BMV), issued pre-session trading suspensions on three individual securities on June 29, halting activity before the standard 7:30 AM local time opening bell. The targeted halts affected VALUE GRUPO FINANCIERO (VALUEGF), BANCO INVEX (CREYCB), and LULU, with the exchange citing the need to maintain orderly market conditions.
What happened and when
The BMV moved quickly in the pre-market window. The first suspension notice went out at 6:47 AM for VALUEGF, followed four minutes later by a halt on CREYCB at 6:51 AM. The third and final halt targeted LULU at 7:14 AM, just 16 minutes before the scheduled session open.
LULU’s suspension was explicitly aimed at preventing disorderly market conditions. Trading in LULU was resumed via an auction mechanism at 7:58 AM, roughly 28 minutes after the regular session was set to begin.
The BMV operates its regular trading session from 7:30 AM to 2:00 PM local time on weekdays.
Context: not your average market meltdown
Pre-session halts on individual securities are fundamentally different from the kind of full-market freezes that grab international headlines. The BMV experienced broader disruptions in both 2020 and 2023, events that temporarily shut down trading across the board. This latest episode involved no systemic technical failure and no exchange-wide circuit breaker.
What this means for investors and markets
For crypto market participants, no cryptocurrency tokens or digital assets were connected to the trading halts or any of the BMV’s activities on this date. Mexico’s equity markets remain insulated from cross-asset contagion that occasionally links traditional finance disruptions to crypto volatility.

How does Wall Street view the PCE? Goldman Sachs delays expectation for Fed rate hike
After the lower-than-expected US August PCE data was released, Goldman Sachs delayed its expectation for the Federal Reserve's second rate hike from October to December, and stated that it does not rule out the possibility that the Fed may eventually decide no further hikes are necessary. "New Fed Newsletter" Timiraos noted that the PCE does not change the previously known trend of rising inflation. Currently, the market prices in a 39% probability of a rate hike in October, down from 45% before the PCE release; and a 90% probability in December. The yield on 2-year US Treasury notes dipped slightly after the PCE announcement and then rebounded, while the 10-year yield continued to rise.
