India's Biggest Exchange Resumes Stock Trading After 3-Hour Halt
- Both segments were closed at 9:55 a.m., reopened at 12:30 p.m.
- Traders were unable to execute trades or see prices updated
India’s largest exchange resumed trading in its stock and equity derivatives markets Monday, after keeping traders on tenterhooks for about three hours with conflicting messages about what time operations would resume.
Issues at the National Stock Exchange of India started early, when traders were unable to execute trades at its venue and prices were not updating, said Arun Kejriwal, founder of Kejriwal Research and Investment Services. The bourse shut both the cash and derivatives segments at 9:55 a.m. local time and said premarket trading would resume at 10:45 a.m. Technical issues persisted, forcing it to delay the restart to 11 a.m. before finally restarting at 12:30 p.m. A pricing display issue was still being addressed, according to an NSE spokeswoman.
