The New York Stock Exchange reopened equity trading after a 3 1/2-hour halt that it blamed on a computer malfunction.
Shares resumed on the New York Stock Exchange, the biggest of the company’s platforms, and NYSE MKT, the third-largest, just after 3 p.m. New York time, according to data compiled by Bloomberg and an NYSE notice. Because shares were changing hands elsewhere throughout the outage, the NYSE was able to avoid having to reestablish its own prices through auctions.
