    A sign on the London Stock Exchange building is pictured in central London on September 8, 2008. The London Stock Exchange said Monday it had been forced to halt trade after experiencing technical problems which restricted connections with some clients. Approaching 1400 GMT, the LSE had been shut for almost six hours. At its suspension, the FTSE 100 showed a gain of 3.81 percent at 5,440.20 points. The market had jumped in line with other bourses after the US government took control of ailing mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, easing fears of a world financial crisis, dealers said.
