Moscow Exchange has suspended trading on the derivatives market – Kommersant

Moscow Exchange reportedthat trading on the derivatives market has been suspended since 9:30 due to a failure. The exchange promised to inform separately about the time of resumption of trading.

Derivatives are traded on the derivatives market: futures and options.

The press service of the Moscow Exchange explained to Kommersant that the reason for the stop was a failure of the trading and clearing system. “The system is being diagnosed; the resumption of trading will be announced additionally,” the Moscow Exchange reported.

In 2022, against the backdrop of sanctions, the Moscow Exchange suspended morning trading on the derivatives market from February 25, and similar restrictions were introduced on the foreign exchange market from February 28. They were resumed in September.
