TSE Closes Market Early

Date 21/02/2000

The Toronto Stock Exchange closed trading at 3:58pm because of a problem with the trading system. Problems were first identified by the Customer Service group at 3:45pm and the TSE decided to close early when it determined that all members using the order management system were impacted. The problem remains under investigation. There will be no last-sale trading session this afternoon. The fully automated Toronto Stock Exchange consistently ranks among the world's top exchanges by market capitalization and trading volume. In 1999, the average daily value of TSE trading has exceeded $2 billion. The TSE provides investors with a well-regulated, fair and accessible marketplace.
