Actually, a trading halt lasts as long as the company and the exchange agree - can be hours or days.Stop_the_clock said:A trading halt lasts 2 business days and a suspension can last much longer.
As was the case with LVL, 2 days was not going to be enough time to release information to the market so rather than going for a trading halt, they opted for the suspension, then the ASX suspended them.
