Bloomberg experienced almost three hours of disruption to its ubiquitous financial markets data platform on 21 May as European traders reported widespread outages.

“Our systems are returning to normal operations and Terminal functionality has been restored following a service disruption earlier today,” Bloomberg spokesman Ty Trippet said in a statement shared with Financial News at 11.40am UK time.
