NASDAQ's 24-Hour Trading Initiative
NASDAQ plans to introduce 24-hour trading on its equities platform five days a week, beginning in the latter half of 2026, pending regulatory approval. This initiative aims to meet the growing global demand for U.S. stocks, particularly from retail investors in different time zones. However, NASDAQ President Tal Cohen has warned about potential risks such as increased volatility and higher transaction costs that could arise from extended hours. Additionally, there will be updates to the Securities Information Processor to accommodate these new trading hours, while other exchanges, like CBO Global Markets and the New York Stock Exchange, are also considering similar changes, reflecting a broader trend towards extended trading in the U.S. market.
