The trading of stocks at the Moscow Exchange was suspended due to a software error

At 16:18 local time on August 14, the trading of stocks at the Moscow Exchange in Russia was suspended. Subsequently, the Moscow Exchange issued a statement saying that this suspension was due to a software error being discovered, including incorrect memory processing on various access servers, which led to the inability of most access servers to connect with trading participants.

However, the error has been eliminated and the stock market resumed trading at 17:30 local time on the 14th, and the system was also ready to cancel orders and reconnect participants. It is worth noting that this is the third suspension of trading at the Moscow Exchange this year. Previously, on February 13 and 14, the Moscow Exchange was temporarily interrupted twice due to hardware failures in the main server.

This trading suspension incident has drawn high attention from the market. Before the suspension, the Moscow Exchange index rose slightly by 0.13% to 2,889.29 points. The news of the trading suspension spread rapidly, and investors speculated on the reasons one after another. Market participants are also closely monitoring the potential impact of this incident on the Russian financial market and related investments. This incident once again highlights the complexity and sensitivity of the financial market, and any unexpected situation may affect market stability and investor confidence.
