Rule 48 allows the exchange to suspend price indications that help determine the floor price at the open during regular sessions. Bypassing the requirement helps speed the beginning of trading.
Among the triggers for invoking the rule are substantial activity in the futures market before the open, according to the exchange's website.
U.S. stock index futures pointed to a sharply lower open as a report that regulators were intensifying their review of European banks' U.S. units shook up investors.

As a co-worker said to me the other day, “I hope it goes to zero.” in reference to the market. He’s a former Federal government employee on a comfortable pension and with health benefits. They honestly believe they’ll never be affected by anything. They actually believe that.

-450. It blew right past the 10:00 AM bump. Normally the market takes a break to reconsider the opening half an hour in. Today they just aimed the nose down and hit the afterburners. This is going to get very ugly very fast. When does Obama speak live from the Bus-o-Debt.
