Treasuries rallied, pushing down bond yields. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell to 0.791 percent.
A further decline could trigger another halt. A Level 1 halt, triggered four-minutes after the open Monday, occurs when the S&P 500 drops by 7 percent before 3:25 p.m. Trading is halted for 15 minutes.
A Level 2 halt, which halts trading for an additional 15 minutes, is triggered if stocks fall by an additional 6 percent, a 13 percent overall decline, from the prior close before 3:25 p.m.
A 20 percent decline triggers a Level 3 halt, which stops trading for the remainder of the day.
