ASX Market Watch

[bepra1]

Hi guys,
I am just wondering why the ASX on 31 August 2007 begin their trading on 12pm instead of 10am (see the market watch graph). Do you have any idea what is going on? If I am not mistaken, in the past month there was another incident just like this

Noticed this myself.

Dont know what happened but think it was more a computr thing (Thought it was mine).
Everything was trading OK as I was getting a live stream from esignal OK.
But Stock Monster and Yahoo had no data.

From this article (http://www.theage.com.au/news/business/technical-glitch-blocks-market-pricing/2007/08/31/1188067326295.html):


The value of the benchmark index was not available for about two hours from the start of trading on Friday due to a technical glitch at index provider Standard & Poor's (S&P). Prices for individual stocks were available.
Cheers,
