What is going on?

Iā€™m getting a trading halt message on all of my etfs including EQGB, CSH2, VWRP and VUAG

ā€œtrading in this instrument is currently haltedā€

Has something happened in the markets or is this an error?

Iā€™ve noticed the same thing, funny enough itā€™s only the stocks/ETFā€™s that Iā€™m currently invested in and that are held in my ISA. One thing that they all have in common is that they have fractional sharesā€¦.makes you wonder if HMRC have finally pulled the triggerā€¦

Iā€™m investing through an invest account and for me it seems to be all ETFs, not just the ones Iā€™m invested in.

Itā€™s not just ISA. CSH2 Iā€™m holding outside ISA is halted also.

And itā€™s only ETF it seems. Individual stocks ok inside and outside.

I left my PC for 10 minutes and came back and thought something really bad had happened and a circuit breaker had been triggered, but it just seems like a T212 issue.

@Scott, thatā€™s right, indeed. Once the halt is lifted, trading will resume as usual.

Any rough indication on when that will be? Presumably not before market close at this point?

Just noticed in the last 20 mins that it suspended about 15:30 or so following a ā€˜system issueā€™ or ā€˜incidentā€™ā€¦ Market now closed anyway.

@Mcmalloch, the situation is beyond our control, so we cannot provide a timeframe.
