TOKYO, March 13 (Reuters) - Tokyo Stock Exchange officials were in talks with financial regulators and bureaucrats on Sunday night to consider whether or not to run normal trading hours on Monday, after Friday's devastating quake and tsunami.
With power rationing expected to hit businesses around the country, the exchange is considering any implications of this for the orderly functioning of market. An exchange spokesman said it would make an announcement within the next few hours.
Meanwhile, the Osaka Securities Exchange , which operates Nikkei 225 futures and options, said on Sunday that it planned to open as normal on Monday. (Reporting by Ayai Tomisawa)
