The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has halted trading today, leaving investors unable to buy and sell securities. 

A technical issue has triggered a system-wide halt, officials said, and all open orders will be canceled.
"We're currently experiencing a technical issue that we’re working to resolve as quickly as possible," a spokeswoman for the NYSE said in a statement. "We will be providing further updates as soon as we can, and are doing our utmost to produce a swift resolution, communicate thoroughly and transparently, and ensure a timely and orderly market re-open." 

The NYSE is owned by Intercontinental Exchange, which owns 11 exchanges.
