Multiple trading halts, which can occur when there is excess buying or selling, or if there is news anticipated, were listed on the exchange’s site.
Berkshire’s A class stock was impacted, currently trading in the B class shares appeared normal.
The broader indices, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite were little changed.
