 TOKYO (AP) - The Tokyo Stock Exchange plans to resume full trading hours as early as April 24, ending a three-month stretch of shortened sessions designed to curb surges in trading traffic that shut down the bourse, news reports said Saturday.
The exchange, Asia's biggest, has cut its afternoon session by 30 minutes since being forced to suspended all transactions in January after panic selling overloaded the system.
Taizo Nishimuro, president of the TSE, said last week the bourse would try to resume normal trading hours by the end of the month. The TSE is now looking at April 24 for the restart date, according to the Nihon Keizai newspaper and Kyodo News agency, which cited unidentified officials at the exchange.
