Johannesburg - The Johannesburg Stock Exchange has resumed
equity trade, a spokesperson said on Tuesday, after network trouble forced it
to halt trading for just under an hour on Tuesday.
The exchange was forced to halt trade several times last
year, due to problems with the connection to its trading engine in London.
The bourse plans to move its trading system to Johannesburg
in July this year to prevent system trouble and increase trading
speed.
South Africa’s All Share [JSE:J203] index earlier on Tuesday hit a record high.
