New York Stock Exchange unexpectedly halts ALL trading over 'technical issue', two hours after United was forced to ground all its flights nationwide also blaming an unexplained 'computer glitch'
The New York Stock Exchange is currently halting all trading, for reasons not yet announced. The halt started at 11:32am and was triggered by 'technical issues,' CNBC reports. The NYSE's website says 'additional information will follow as soon as possible.' Earlier this morning all of United's flights were also grounded nationwide due to a computer glitch. At around 8am EST, United requested that all of its planes be prevented from taking off after it suffered from a 'network connectivity issue', according to the Federal Aviation Administration (AA). Although the airline did not explain the nature of the issue, passengers said its reservation system was 'down across the board' - meaning those without hard boarding passes could not check in. Shortly before 10am, two hours after the worldwide ground stop began, United resumed its service.
