The power outage at Reuters on Tuesday morning prevented Standard & Poor’s from updating the levels of the affected indices throughout the day. However, Standard & Poor's was able to calculate closing levels for the indices at the normal time because they are computed on a completely separate system. Standard & Poor’s global family of indices is the leading measure of performance in major markets throughout the world.
