Trading has stopped on the Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange, with quotes and index data unavailable Wednesday because of a system crash.
“We have halted all TSX and TSX Venture issues,” said Mark Jarrett, director of equity operations. “We will provide updates as they become available.”
A statement on the TSX website stated that the exchange was experiencing a “service interruption” on the data feeds that provide real-time data for stocks on both exchanges, such as trade information, quotes, corporate actions and index information.
The data produced by these feeds is also available on a time delay, and is often used on financial websites.
More to come
