GLITCH: Traders, governors, and members of the New York Stock Exchange discussing what is happening following a halt in trading on the floor of the exchange in New York on July 8, 2015.
NEW YORK: The New York Stock Exchange was forced to suspend trading for several hours on July 8 in the biggest outage to hit a US financial market in nearly two years, unnerving investors already rattled by the meltdown in Chinese stocks and the Greek debt crisis.
The exchange, a unit of Intercontinental Exchange Inc, reopened at 3:10 p.m. EDT after being halted shortly after 11:30 a.m. EDT. NYSE said the outage was due to an internal technical issue and not the result of a cyberattack. Other exchanges were trading normally.
