ASX Supervision paused trading of the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF (ASX: SPY) on September 18, 2026. The halt remains in effect pending a forthcoming announcement from the entity.
The official market notice omitted the nature, reason, and anticipated duration of the pause. This lack of transparency creates uncertainty for investors holding the Australian-listed version of the fund.
The pause coincides with increased scrutiny of the ETF's U.S.-listed counterpart. Analysts suggest the fund is overvalued following Federal Reserve signals of further interest rate hikes.
