Trading in all stocks and derivatives on Euronext NV markets shut down for three hours, with some glitches continuing after the close, in the biggest outage to hit the exchange operator in two years.
Stocks including L’Oreal SA, LVMH and Kering SA in Paris were halted as of 9:49 a.m. Paris time on Monday, with Euronext markets in Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal and Ireland also affected. Companies on those exchanges make up about 22% of the components in the benchmark Stoxx Europe 600 Index. Trading in Euronext’s other market, Norway, wasn’t affected.
