Computer breakdowns shook American equity markets again today as malfunctioning software that feeds data between exchanges prompted Nasdaq Stock Market to halt trading in thousands of stocks and options.

Nasdaq said trading for all its listed stocks will resume by about 3:25 p.m. following a 15-minute quote-only period, according to a statement on its website.
