Trading on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) has been suspended following a technical glitch.
The LSE said it was hit with connectivity issues and that the FTSE 100 index level was frozen at 5,264.97, down 99.84 points, or 1.9pc.
All orders for shares were placed in an auction call period at 1038 GMT, the exchange said.
While the length of the auction call period has not yet been decided, a minimum of 30 minutes notice will be provided ahead of the scheduled uncrossing time.
“The exchange continues to investigate the root cause and will publish an update once further information is available,” the LSE said in a brief statement.
