By Chuck Mikolajczak

NEW YORK, April 1 (Reuters) - NYSE Arca has suspended trading in eight symbols for the balance of the trading day due to a technical issue, including Amazon.com and both classes of Alphabet Inc shares, according to an alert from the exchange.

The alert stated all orders have been canceled back to customers and a spokeswoman for the exchange confirmed it was not an April Fool's Day prank.

A spokesman for Nasdaq said the stocks can be trading on their exchange regardless of issues at another exchange.
