Anyone wanting to get their TikTok fix in the United States recently had a rough time. The app went haywire, kicking off early on the morning of January 25, due to a power outage at a key data center that knocked out services nationwide. Users reported the app crashing, with videos getting stuck and refusing to play, upload, or even hit a single view.
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME Group) gradually resumed trading on Friday after a cooling system at a CyrusOne data center malfunctioned. The failure temporarily halted futures, options, and currency markets, affecting traders worldwide. At around 8:30 a.m. local time (2:30 p.m. Amsterdam time), trading in futures and options on stocks resumed in full. Bonds and metals also resumed trading after the break, according to FactSet data. Trading in individual stocks remained active during the premarket phase.
