Seems with everything shutting down its now highly likely they shut the market as well. No idea when. Thoughts?

Interesting thought. My guess is that it'd be unlikely, given it's largely run on computers.

I agree with Strawman. Very unlikely they would close the market, except as a short-term circuit-breaker like they do in the US whenever there is a 7% fall. They close the market there for 15 mins I think it is on 7% falls to give everyone a chance to catch their breath and think about whether that sort of panic is justified or an over-reaction.
