CAIRO (Zawya Dow Jones)--The Egyptian Stock market stopped trading in Ezz Steel shares Monday as the company hasn't reported its 2010 and first quarter financial results, a bourse spokesman told Zawya Dow Jones.

A stock exchange committee on July 6 gave Ezz 15 days to report its financial results, the bourse said in a statement. Trading on the stock would then be halted if the company exceeded this time limit, it added.

Ezz Steel wasn't immediately available for comment.
