News and closed trading platforms cause losses for the London Stock Exchange group: Report

The announcement follows the temporary outage of many London Stock Exchange Group currency trading systems on Thursday morning as European markets opened, which market insiders said suggested a wider decline in the corporation.

Traders in Singapore and India reported problems with LSEG's interbank forex matching systems FXT and FXAll, as well as its market data platforms Ekon and Workspace.

Following a 30- to 45-minute shutdown, the majority of market sources said that systems were returned to normal by 7 a.m. GMT.

The impact on the London Stock Exchange, another LSEG company, was not immediately apparent. Its website status page claims that all systems are up and running, however.

The parent firm of Reuters News, Thomson Reuters, has a small share in LSEG.

The main division in the data and analytics sector is LSEG's flagship Workspace product, which offers financial and real-time data and news, including exclusive access to Reuters News.
