MANILA - Trading at the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) was
suspended
for a few minutes Tuesday morning due to a technical glitch.
In an advisory issued at around 10:30 a.m., PSE said, "market halted
due to incorrect reference prices reflected in PSETradeX. The exchange
is taking appropriate action to resolve the matter."
Trading resumed at around 11:15 a.m.
The PSETradeX is the new system being used by the PSE to enable the
stock exchange to handle up to five times the transactions compared to
the previous trading system.
The
new system, which is developed by NASDAQ, was launched in June.
