The NYSE announcement comes as interest in all-day trading in U.S. markets has swelled in recent years. Robinhood announced “24/5 trading,” open from 8 p.m. ET on Sundays through 8 p.m. ET on Fridays, in May 2023. Global cryptocurrency markets trade 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
“The NYSE’s initiative to extend U.S. equity trading to 22 hours a day, 5 days a week underscores the strength of our U.S. capital markets and growing demand for our listed securities around the world,” Kevin Tyrrell, head of markets at the New York Stock Exchange, said in a statement. “As the steward of the U.S. capital markets, the NYSE is pleased to lead the way in enabling exchange-based trading for our U.S.-listed companies and funds to investors in time zones across the globe.”
