Traders are the big winners as 24/7 stocks will finally end the after-hours price 'manipulation'
Why it matters: 24/7 trading will shift power dynamics from intermediaries to individual investors, impacting off-hours price movements.
- 24/7 stock markets are expected to end after-hours price 'manipulation', benefiting individual traders.
- Intermediaries who traditionally held significant power during off-hours will face increased pressure.
- Investors will gain more freedom and control over their trades with continuous market access.
The shift to 24/7 stock trading is poised to empower individual investors by eliminating the traditional after-hours price 'manipulation' previously controlled by intermediaries. This round-the-clock market access promises greater freedom for investors while simultaneously increasing pressure on the brokers and institutions who historically leveraged their power during off-market hours.
