LSE investigating 'suspicious circumstances' in trading disruption

The exchange is delaying the move of its cash equity market to new trading platform until next year

The London Stock Exchange is investigating a human error that led to a two-hour trading disruption at its Turquoise trading platform yesterday.

Preliminary investigations indicate the error may have occurred under "suspicious circumstances" on Turquoise, a pan-European trading venue majority owned by the London Stock Exchange, according to a statement from the exchange. The error caused a trading disruption that began at 8:23 a.m. in London. Normal trading resumed at 10:30 a.m.
