Trading in all symbols was temporarily halted on the New York Stock Exchange floor Wednesday due to an apparent technical issue.
"NYSE/NYSE MKT has temporarily suspended trading in all symbols. Additional information will follow as soon as possible," the NYSE said in a statement on its status page.
A technical issue caused the trading halt, Reuters reported, citing a source. Trading stopped around 11:30 a.m. ET.
The Nasdaq reported no technical issues and said it continues to trade NYSE-listed stocks.
"It's been a little bit of a bumpy day. We had some technical problems even before the opening," said Art Cashin, director of floor operations at the NYSE, in a CNBC interview.
We were in need of a leap-second? I usually hear about those. Might be enough to mess up computer clocks.

Once is happenstance.
Twice is coincidence.
Three times is enemy action.
