SEC to Discuss 24-Hour Stock Trading in September as Major Exchanges Extend Hours

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has scheduled discussions for September focused on the potential shift toward 24-hour stock trading, according to CoinTelegraph. This move signals growing interest in extending market accessibility beyond traditional hours.

Major exchanges including Nasdaq, Cboe, and the London Stock Exchange are among those advancing toward longer trading hours, reflecting a broader trend to accommodate global investors and increase market liquidity, CoinTelegraph reported.

For Japanese investors, this development may influence trading strategies and market participation as global equity markets explore more flexible hours, potentially affecting FX and equities linked to U.S. and European exchanges.
