NEWS: ASX placed in enquire mode

The Australian sharemarket is currently experiencing technical difficulties, delaying the official start of trade and throwing the market into confusion.

According to media reports, the market has been placed into "enquire mode" and all trades conducted so far today are under review.

Trade has been suspended indefinitely.

The market appeared to begin at 1005 AEDT in the usual fashion, before stalling at some time in the next 15 minutes.

The S&P/ASX200 last traded at 4,242.2 points and the broader all ordinaries All Ordinaries at 4300.7 points.

On Wednesday, the Australian sharemarket rebounded strongly to finish the day in positive territory after initially falling more than one per cent.

The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index closed up 14.6 points, or 0.35 per cent, at 4,242.5, while the All Ordinaries index gained 13.1 points, or 0.31 per cent, to 4,300.8.
