STOXX Limited today announced that several STOXX Indices, among them the STOXX Europe 600 and STOXX Europe 50 indices, were affected by data issues with currency rates on February 16, 2012.
The EURO STOXX 50 Index and all related sub- und strategy indices have not been affected.
The above issue led to wrong index values being disseminated from 5.30pm – 9.49pm Central European Time (CET) on February 16, 2012. All STOXX Indices which include foreign currencies, except for Euro-only indices, were affected by this.
STOXX disseminated corrected closing values for all affected indices at 9.50pm CET and is currently working on correcting index highs and lows.
As a result, all STOXX Strategy Indices which are based on the affected indices are currently showing incorrect values and are thus not being disseminated. STOXX will resume the dissemination of these indices are soon as they have been corrected.
