LONDON: The London Stock Exchange was hit by a technical glitch Friday that delayed the start of trade and affected its market news service, amid outages across the world.
The LSE’s company news feed “is currently experiencing a third-party global technical issue, preventing news from being published,” it said in a statement.
“Technical teams are working to restore the service. Other services across the group, including London Stock Exchange, continue to operate as normal.”
