The London Stock Exchange has confirmed a tech issue affecting the publication of news announcements.
Only a handful of RNS announcements were published this morning at 7:00 am (London time). LSE bothered to post a notice about the problems some 40 minutes later. There is no apology accompanying the rigid announcement.
The notice states:
“TECHNICAL ISSUE BEING INVESTIGATED WITH PUBLICATION OF RNS/REACH ANNOUNCEMENTS
RNS news service is currently experiencing a global technical issue, preventing news from being published on www.londonstockexchange.com. Technical teams are working to restore the service. Other services across the Group, including London Stock Exchange continue to operate as normal”.
