The London Stock Exchange temporarily halted trading for numerous stocks due to a system-related issue.

Currently, only shares from the FTSE 100, FTSE 250, and IOB (international order books) markets are open for trading, according to the exchange.

All other stocks remain on hold as the incident is being examined by the London Stock Exchange.

This suspension impacts shares of several companies, including Asos, Deliveroo, and Boohoo.
