Stocks listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market resumed trading after a computer breakdown shook American equity markets.

Trading in Nasdaq securities resumed at around 3:25 p.m. in New York, the exchange said in a statement on its website. Nasdaq said earlier that trading in shares it lists had been stopped amid issues at its Securities Information Processor, the feed that disseminates quotes and prices.
