“So far this is the worst I’ve seen since the NASDAQ blackout,” said Eric Hunsader, CEO of market research firm Nanex.
Hunsader added that what we’re seeing is likely a gateway issue, as some routs are simply not working. It’s possible that this was caused by a system upgrade or some other kind of software update.
