Shares of former President Donald Trump’s social media and technology company jumped about 50 percent on Tuesday in its first day of trading on the Nasdaq before it was briefly halted for volatility.
After making its debut, shares for the Trump Media & Technology Group stock, called “DJT,” spiked 50 percent. But it was briefly halted because of the sharp rise before it had resumed trading at around 9:40 a.m. ET.
It’s not uncommon for the trading of highly-watched stocks to be suspended when the price increases or plunges too quickly.
