The New York Stock Exchange on Friday suspended trading of eight securities, including Amazon and Google-parent Alphabet Inc., due to “market data” issues, a NYSE spokeswoman told MarketWatch. Trading in Amazon Inc., , Alphabet Inc. class A and C shares , Markel Corp. , Intuitive Surgical Inc. , and Autzone Inc. are among the securities that the exchange operator suspended for the day. The so-called Big Board discovered the glitch early Friday and said it has affected the exchange’s ability to “receive and disseminate market data” on those names. Those securities will be trading on other exchange platforms, however. The NYSE is hoping to resolve the issue by Monday, the spokeswoman said, declining to provide further detail. Such halts are unusual but follows an unprecedented four-hour halt of the entire NYSE back in July 2015.
