During the outage, London-based traders reported major difficulties in trading Wednesday, particularly in currencies like the Australian dollar, the New Zealand dollar, the Canadian dollar, the pound and the Nordic currencies, where Reuters dominates bank-to-bank flows.
"This is causing bottlenecks," said a trader at the time, who didn't wish to be named. "Because Reuters is down, the traders can't see the flows so are unwilling to quote, again causing bottlenecks, and probably adding to the short-squeeze seen in many pairings," he added.

The last time that Thomson Reuters' currency trading systems suffered a major outage was in March 2011, when trading in certain currency pairs was disrupted for four hours during the European morning.
That saw many traders switch to its main rival ICAP PLC-owned EBS, which at the time reported a pickup in its Commonwealth and Nordic pairs as well as emerging markets.
Thomson Reuters operates one of two key dealing systems that banks use to trade with each other. Trading volumes handled by its systems averaged over $176 billion a day in September, the company's data show.

Thomson Reuters Trading Volumes Point To Forex Boom
LONDON -(Dow Jones)- Trading volumes in currency markets seem to have boomed during September, as Thomson Reuters Corp. (TRI) reported its second-businest month ever across its range of dealing systems.
Volumes averaged more than $176 billion a day in September--the second-highest ever quantity --after an average of $166 billion a day in August. September's tally was surpassed only in May 2010, the company said.
The new volumes represent 32% growth compared with September 2010, showing that the foreign exchange market continues to grow rapidly.
