Morgan Stanley bungles Spanish trade

Morgan Stanley has admitted making an erroneous trade of shares worth almost €100m ($125m) in Service Point Solutions, a Spanish documents publisher, after it submitted the wrong code.

The bank was attempting to execute a cross transaction on October 13 in 31 million warrants issued by Service Point Solutions. However, Morgan Stanley entered the institutional securities identification number, or ISIN, of the company's shares rather than that held by the warrants.
