The Nasdaq stock exchange plans to extend trading hours, making them round-the-clock for five days a week, aimed at leveraging the increasing global demand for American stocks. This change is directed at attracting investors from around the world and increasing market liquidity.
Extended trading hours provide the opportunity to invest in Nasdaq stocks at any convenient time, which, in turn, contributes to increasing trading volumes and enhancing market activity. The expansion of trading hours allows investors to react to global economic and political news in real time.
However, there are concerns about the potential increase in volatility in the market due to round-the-clock access to trading. Some experts express concerns about the risks associated with the extended working hours for market participants, which may negatively impact their psychological state and the quality of the decisions they make.
"We believe that this change significantly affects the trading dynamics on the Nasdaq exchange and attracts more investors. However, we also need to take into account potential risks associated with the increased trading hours," noted a representative of the exchange.
