NYSE Suspends Trading Of Five Symbols

(RTTNews) - The New York Stocks Exchange on mid-day Wednesday suspended the trading in shares of five symbols, including e-commerce giant Amazon and Google's parent Alphabet, for rest of the day.

The trading was suspended due to a technical glitch, which NYSE referred to as "a 'price scale' code of 5 issue."

"Due to the previously announced price scale code issue affecting BCCG execution reports, trading in the following Tape C symbols will be suspended for the balance of the trading day. Any open orders in these securities will be canceled." NYSE said in a statement.

The symbols that have been suspended include Amazon.com Inc.'s AMZN; Alphabet Inc.'s GOOG and GOOGL; Booking Holdings Inc.'s BKNG; and Zion Oil & Gas Inc.'s ZNWAA.
