May 21, Fineko/abc.az. On Wednesday, a malfunction at Bloomberg's trading terminals led to massive delays in government bond auctions and trading disruptions across Europe.

ABC.AZ reports that users informed that market data was unavailable and tables could not be updated.

Due to the problems, the UK, Sweden and Portugal were forced to postpone auctions, and the EU postponed the timing of the placement of their securities. One of the bidders called the situation "a real nightmare".
