The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is preparing to hold talks in September about extending stock trading hours to a 24-hour format.
Major exchanges like Nasdaq, Cboe, and the London Stock Exchange are already moving toward longer trading sessions, reflecting a shift in market dynamics.
Proponents argue that around-the-clock trading could improve liquidity and provide more flexibility for investors across different time zones.
However, concerns remain about increased volatility and challenges in market oversight during extended hours.
The discussions will explore how to balance these factors while modernizing trading practices to meet global demand.
