Technical problems prevent JSE open

There was no equities trading taking place on the JSE on Monday morning after a technical glitch prevented the market from opening at 9am. At 10.45am, the system was still not available.

In a statement, the JSE said the equity market has not opened due to “certain order information not being visible in the equity market trading system”.

“To rectify this, the JSE has initiated a restart of the trading system,” it added. “The JSE is working tirelessly to get the market into continuous trading.”

It said the derivatives market has not been impacted by the problem.

Update: The equity market resumed trading at 11am.  — © 2018 NewsCentral Media
