A technical problem halted trading on exchanges owned by Euronext NV, hitting activity at one of the busiest times of the year for European stock markets. Monday’s glitch stopped trading in stocks, bonds, commodities and derivatives on exchanges in Paris, Amsterdam, Lisbon and elsewhere. Before a fresh problem struck later in the day, Euronext initially fixed the cause of the outage, and trading in most markets resumed by early Monday afternoon in Europe, a spokesman for the exchange operator said.
