26.11.2009
Trading on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) has resumed following a technical glitch that put it out of action for over three hours.
The LSE said earlier today the exchange had been hit with connectivity issues.
The FTSE 100 index level was frozen at 5,264.97, down 99.84 points, or 1.9pc and all orders for shares were placed in an auction call period.
This was not the first occasion that a technical problem has halted trading at the exchange. Last September, the LSE went out of action for seven hours.
The LSE yesterday reported a 37pc fall in pre-tax profits to £79.4m for the six months ended 30 September 2009, compared to the £127m earned during the same period last year.
