In a statement sent to the market, Euronext stated that “some equity indices based on North American markets are currently being transmitted incorrectly” . This situation is generating uncertainty and volatility in financial markets, affecting investors and companies that depend on these indices to make informed decisions.
The London Stock Exchange also stated that it was being affected by this global technical failure , stating that it was detecting technical problems with its RNS news service. In a banner published on its website , London Stock Exchenge states that “the RNS news service is currently experiencing a global third-party technical issue, which is preventing the publication of news”, further noting that “technical teams are working to restore the service, with no impact on securities trading or other London Stock Exchange services.”
