According to Bloomberg, major US exchanges are developing plans to expand and promote stock trading beyond traditional trading hours, suggesting that an era of 24/7 trading for US stocks may be approaching. The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq have previously offered pre-market and after-hours trading, though trading activity remains generally low. With the growth of 24/7 cryptocurrency and equity trading platforms, as well as round-the-clock prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi, combined with increasing demand from non-US investors for continuous liquidity and timely execution, major exchanges are seeking to further extend stock trading hours.
