MEXICO CITY, Aug 23 (Reuters) - A bomb threat was called into Mexico City's stock market on Monday, Mexico's Milenio television reported, but traders said operations at the bourse were unaffected.

Mexican police were not immediately able to confirm or rule out such a threat.

There is no longer floor trading at the Mexican stock exchange but the building, located in a central area of the Mexican capital, is a prominent landmark.

"Up to now nothing has happened with the market," said Gerardo Roman, head of stock trading at the exchange.

The peso slightly extended losses on the news, while stock trading appeared to be unaffected. (Reporting by Noe Torres, Liz Salazar, Lorena Segura, Jean Luis Arce and Michael O'Boyle; writing by Robert Campbell; Editing by Dan Grebler)
