NYSE shut down for nearly four hours by technical glitch

The New York Stock Exchange was forced to suspend trading for several hours on Wednesday in the biggest outage to hit a U.S. financial market in nearly two years, unnerving investors already rattled by the meltdown in Chinese stocks and the Greek debt crisis. The exchange, a unit of Intercontinental Exchange Inc (ICE.N), reopened at 3:10 p.m. EDT after being halted shortly after 11:30 a.m. EDT. NYSE said the outage was due to an internal technical issue and not the result of a cyberattack.
