London Stock Exchange Group PLC is considering starting 24-hour trading in order to keep up with US exchange rivals, the Financial Times reported on Sunday. LSEG is looking into the technical, commercial and regulatory implications of extended trading hours, the newspaper said, citing ‘people familiar with the situation’. This could mean up to 24-hour trading, one said. The London Stock Exchange, which has suffered a string of departures of high-profile listings to the US, currently is open only from 8 am to 4:30 pm London time, whereas New York markets have for many years hosted both pre-market and after-market trading sessions. More recently, the main US exchanges have applied to the US Securities & Exchange Commission for even longer trading windows, responding to interest from retail investors, particularly for cryptocurrency trading. Last year, 24X, a new 24-hour trading venue, received in approval in principle. Copyright 2025 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
