NEW YORK: The prices of several big-name Nasdaq-listed stocks appeared on some websites to either spike or plummet well after the closing bell on July 3, seemingly due to a glitch related to the market data that runs the largely automated markets.
At around 6:30pm, the prices of Amazon Inc and Microsoft Corp stocks appeared to have lost more than half their value, while Apple Inc shares appeared to more than double. Google parent Alphabet Inc and eBay Inc shares were among others that all appeared to be priced at US$123.47 (RM530.67) on some financial news websites on the evening of July 3.
