The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) has resumed trading after a technical glitch1 forced a halt just as the market opened.

澳洲证券交易所开始营业后不久因一个技术故障而暂停交易。

The suspension, which lasted for almost four hours, applied2 only to equities3 and did not affect commodities or currency trading.

The halt came days before the launch of a rival exchange in Australia by Chi-X.

It is the second time this year that technical issues have closed the exchange.

In February, a glitch led to a suspension in trading that lasted just over an hour.

ASX spokeswoman Leeanne Bland4 declined to comment on whether this incident was related.

She said the exchange would now undertake a more detailed5 analysis of Thursday's glitch to ensure it does not happen again.

Ms Bland told the BBC the suspension went into effect five minutes after the market opened, when it became apparent that some brokers6 could not connect to the ASX trading system.

The exchange then worked with its technology supplier Nasdaq OMX to resolve the issue.

In the financial year ending June 2011, the ASX saw an average of 570,440 daily trades with a value of 5.3bn Australian dollars ($5.6bn; £3.5bn).

Trading on Thursday was halted after just 6,700 trades.
