Share trading on the London Stock Exchange (LSE.L) was halted at the open on Friday with the operator blaming a technical problem.
"The uncrossing trades at the opening auction are under investigation for potential cancellation," said Lauren Crawley-Moore, spokeswoman for the LSE.
"There is a pause in order-driven securities trading, we are investigating problems in SETS and SETS QX," she said, adding that she was not able to say when the problem may be resolved.
On Tuesday, Borsa Italiana, a unit of LSE, suspended its trading for hours because of a technical glitch.
Technical difficulties on the London Stock Exchange caused a halt in trading for three and a half hours in November, 2009.
