B3 Delays Trading After Clearing-File Glitch

The outage halted the clearing-house start-up, leaving orders in auction, which prevented trades from being settled.

Overview

  • B3 postponed the start of trading on Friday after a delay in the transmission of clearing files stopped the clearing house from opening.
  • The exchange specifically delayed Mini Índice (WIN) and Mini Dólar (WDO) contracts and rescheduled the equities opening auction to 12:03.
  • While the issue persisted most assets remained in auction so investors could place orders but no trades were executed or settled.
  • B3 said technical adjustments had been completed and that it would keep the market informed about the situation and full resumption of services.
  • The clearing files and the clearing house confirm and record trades, so the interruption raised short-term liquidity and settlement risks for day traders, brokers and funds trading at the open.
