Question
Are MTFs and OTFs required to generate instrument status messages even when the instrument is already on halt / suspended by a primary exchange?
Answer
The instrument status message requires the information of the Market Identifier Code (MIC). Therefore, this information is to be provided per ISIN-MIC-Currency basis. Hence, MTFs and OTFs should generate the instrument status message whenever they halt / suspend an instrument.
