FTSE Russell indexes suffered a 40-minute outage on Friday, the second technical failure to strike London Stock Exchange Group Plc in less than a month, disrupting trades in the UK, Italy and South Africa.
All indexes went down at 9:10 a.m. UK time before the problem was resolved, a spokesperson for LSEG, which owns the indexes, said by phone. The technical glitch froze trading on a number of benchmark indexes, with a flat line displayed on intraday charts for the duration of the disruption.
