May 28 (Reuters) - Several exchange operators on Tuesday
re-enabled routing to Members Exchange (MEMX) after disabling it
for a brief period.
MEMX Equities delayed the opening of its pre-market session
to 08:45 a.m. ET as the stock exchange encountered an issue. It
did not clarify what the issue was.
The exchange normally starts its pre-market trading session
at 7:00 a.m. ET, according to its website.
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Cboe Global Markets and
Nasdaq were among the exchange operators that disabled routing
to Members Exchange during pre-market trading before resuming it
after a brief pause.
The issue also led to self-help declarations from the
NYSE and Cboe against Members Exchange. Both were revoked later.
A "self-help" is a notification issued by a trading
exchange when another exchange is dealing with internal problems
in processing trades and orders are routed through alternate
venues.
Nasdaq, NYSE and CBOE did not immediately respond to Reuters
requests for comment.
