The Continual Motion of the Futures Market

The futures market operates nearly 24 hours a day, offering continuous trading opportunities even when other markets see decreased activity. CME Group's S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 futures are highlighted for their great liquidity, providing traders ample chances to execute trades at any time. Unlike ETFs, which experience reduced volume after 4 p.m., futures retain their trading volume throughout the night, making them a crucial instrument for investors seeking flexibility. This round-the-clock access enables participants to capitalize on market movements regardless of the time, enhancing the appeal of futures trading.
