KUALA LUMPUR:
Bursa Malaysia faced connectivity issue in early trade on Thursday after opening slightly lower and suspension was expected to be for the entire morning session.
The KLCI opened down 0.37 point to 1,153.33 on some selling. However, it had not updated the data since then.
In an immediate response, Bursa Malaysia Securities said trading would be suspended for at least the morning trading session from 9am to 12.30pm following a multi hardware failure in its core trading system.
“The derivatives market will continue to trade as normal, however, there will not be any underlying KLCI feed for the FKLI and OKLI trading,” it said. Bursa Securities said all market participants have been duly notified and will be updated periodically of the progress.
“Bursa Malaysia is investigating the problem and will notify the market of any updates,” it added.
