I thought tech issues happened only in European markets (luckily only a couple times last year) ........TOKYO not able to solve whole day their problems
( by Brixen )
It is possible that tonight's problems are due to this problem:
"The Tokyo Stock Exchange will be closed for the whole day due to a technical failure that blocked the start of trading, forcing the third world stock exchange to stop trading. It was the worst interruption in history. Today the markets were expecting a rebound in Tokyo, after yesterday's drop linked to the Trump-Biden duel, defined by observers as the "worst debate of all time".
"Trading on all shares of the Tokyo Stock Exchange is suspended due to an issue involving the transmission of market information," the Japan Exchange Group said in a statement shortly before the opening. The interruption of trading caused not a few problems for the regional markets of Sapporo, Nagoya and Fukuoka which had to stop their activities because it was not possible to register the transactions at the TSE. The Osaka Stock Exchange is currently the only market still active.
The Tokyo Stock Exchange is a 6 trillion dollar stock market, the third largest in the world after New York and Shanghai. Nikkei futures, which are trading in Osaka, were up 0.4%, in line with a rise in US stocks overnight. The TSE did not provide a reason for the interruption, but ruled out unauthorized access from outside the system, explaining that there is no evidence to do so. The head of Cabinet Katsunobu Kato also expressed his opinion on the matter, specifying that the Financial Services Authority investigates the matter and will continue to monitor the incident with the TSE, excluding at the moment involvement by cyber attacks.
