Why The Rise In Extended Hours Trading?
We’ve seen a growing trend of stock brokers rolling out extended hours trading in recent years, catering to active traders seeking volatility.
Extended hours trading provides opportunities for traders to react quickly to news events, such as earnings reports, outside of traditional market hours.
For short-term traders, it also provides an opportunity to seize on price gaps that can occur overnight, as well as an early view on market sentiment before the opening bell.
However, caution is required – trading out of hours comes with heightened risks like lower liquidity and larger price swings, making it best suited to experienced traders.
