The Tokyo Stock Exchange suffered its biggest disruption in six years as a computer glitch halted trading in 241 securities including shares of Sony Corp. and Hitachi Ltd., leaving investors concerned the bourse isn’t ready for a merger with its Osaka rival.
Trading resumed at 12:30 p.m. local time, about 4 1/2 hours after the bourse detected the error, which bourse spokeswoman Yukari Hozumi said was in one of eight servers that sends order information to investors.
