Switzerland’s stock exchange SIX said trading had been halted on Wednesday morning across all products until further notice due to technical problems.
The exchange said the trading halt, which began at 1000 CET (0800 GMT) affected bonds, derivatives, exchange-traded products, equities and funds, and said further information will follow.
The Swiss stock exchange is home to companies including Nestle, Roche and UBS.
“Market data and index data is not being disseminated at the moment and we are investigating the cause and trying to solve,” a spokesperson at SIX told Reuters.
“Trading was not affected, but we had to halt trading in Switzerland due to equal treatment of market participants.”
