Safex trading interrupted

Johannesburg - Trading resumed on the South African Futures Exchange after it was briefly halted on Tuesday afternoon following a power dip.

Russell Loubser, CEO of the JSE Limited [JSE:JSE], told I-Net Bridge that Eskom will later establish the exact cause of the problem.

"None of our trading systems went down. The problem was that some of the traders could not connect to the derivatives market, so we had to re-set the systems," he said.

Trading was halted at 13:00 and resumed at 14:35.
