TMX Group technology team has isolated the issue that resulted in the halt of trading on Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange. Remedial action was taken to restore all data feeds at 3:41PM, and the company confirms that the Exchanges will open on Thursday, December 18, 2008 as per normal.
Initial findings indicate a network firmware issue resulted in complications with data sequencing, which impacted the delivery of the Level 1 data feeds.
