Data glitch halts NASDAQ trading |
August 22, 2013
All trading on the NASDAQ market was halted on Thursday due to a glitch in a system used to disseminate trading information.First signs of a problem were seen at 10:57 EDT (14:57 GMT) when "momentary interruptions in quote dissemination" hit a system that pools data from exchanges that trade NASDAQ securities. Those problems lasted for six minutes before the system returned to normal operation, according to a market status message issued by the exchange.But roughly an hour later, NASDAQ said there were problems with submission of quotes to the same system. As a result, NASDAQ halted trading at 12:14 EDT and the options market followed suit at 12:20 EDT.No further details are currently available.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
