New York Stock Exchange halts all trading due to 'technical issues'
The New York Stock Exchange halted all trading late Wednesday morning due to an unexplained technical glitch, which the NYSE said was not the result of the cyber breach. An anonymous trader on the floor told The New York Times that the glitch was likely related to new software rolled out earlier Wednesday morning.
China's stock market experienced a severe plunge in the last few days, though there's no indication the halt at the NYSE is at all related. Trading is still going on at the NASDAQ.
