The group said it was investigating “an incident” in which investors could only trade shares in the FTSE 100 and 250 indices and global depositary receipts, a certificate representing shares in overseas companies.

It first said it was investigating the incident at 3:26pm, about an hour before the UK market closed, and said orders in affected stocks had expired.

The glitch forced an early end to trading in dozens of names, including online retailer Asos, polling company YouGov and drinks maker Fever-Tree. Trading in shares in companies in the FTSE Aim index, which tracks smaller companies, was also halted, while the normal end-of-day auction in affected names was also cancelled.

The exchange later said the affected stocks would close at their halted prices.

The outage was a further blow for the LSE, which has struggled to attract new listings this year amid a global downturn. Activity is also down, with the average daily value of shares traded a fifth lower in the third quarter, year-on-year, at £3.3bn.

The trading venue last faced a major trading outage in 2021 when its Eikon terminals, data platform, and FXall currency trading platform were down for five hours, knocking out some of its most widely-used services.
