A technical problem forced a halt to all trading on Tokyo's stock exchanges on Thursday, with no information on when activity would resume, the bourse's operator said. "Trading in all shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange is suspended due to glitches linked to the delivery of market information," Japan Exchange Group said in a statement. An official told AFP that trade was suspended from 8:35am (2335 GMT Wednesday). Orders were also not being received. The precise nature of the glitch was not explained further, but it meant the country's top indexes -- the Nikkei 225 and the Topix -- were unable to open at the start of the trading day. The issue was also affecting trade on several other exchanges, including in Nagoya and Sapporo. The Osaka exchange was functioning normally though, Japan Exchange Group said. kh-sah/jah
