Tech Glitch Halts New York Stock Exchange Trading

Trading on the New York Stock Exchange was set to resume at midafternoon Wednesday after being halted by a technical issue. The NYSE took to Twitter to assure traders that the shutdown was not caused by a cyberattack.
NYSE President Thomas Farley told CNBC that the NYSE plans to open the market by 2:45 or 3 p.m. ET. He did not explain the nature of the technical issue.
"The issue we are experiencing is an internal technical issue and is not the result of a cyber breach." Trading stopped around 11:30 a.m. ET.
Two U.S. officials told NBC News there was no indication the NYSE shutdown was related to the computer issue that temporarily grounded all United Airlines flights on Wednesday morning. They also said there was no indication of a cyberattack.
