China Regulator Reportedly Suspends IPOs and Large Shareholder Sales to Stabilize Slumping Stocks

China's securities regulator reportedly used "window guidance" to ask brokers to suspend IPOs and large shareholder stock sales until the market recovers. The intervention followed an 8.5% fall in the CSI 300 in October, its worst monthly performance in more than a decade, leaving the index down about 14% year to date.
