TMX Group Ltd. was forced to shut down the Toronto Stock Exchange and its derivatives market early after the owner of Canada’s largest bourses experienced technical problems for most of the afternoon. Trading is expected to resume Monday.
Trading stopped at 1:39 p.m., and the exchange operator later said on Twitter that the bourse won’t re-open for the day. Fewer than 575 million Canadian shares traded Friday, the slowest session since July 24, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
