Earlier Nasdaq Glitch Cued Talk, No Action

U.S. stock-market officials and regulators earlier this year may have missed a chance to head off problems related to a major glitch in August that stopped trading in Nasdaq Stock Market-listed securities for hours, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The red flag came on Jan. 3, when some exchanges halted trading in Nasdaq-listed stocks after a brief outage in a data feed that delivers price quotes. The committee is made up of representatives of nearly all U.S. stock and options exchanges and dictates any changes to the feed. It manages the data feed and supervises its performance, and amending the plan governing the feed requires a unanimous vote.
