According to Odaily, Nasdaq, the second-largest exchange operator in the United States, is planning to offer extended trading hours five days a week, contingent upon regulatory approval and industry coordination. This initiative is expected to commence in the latter half of 2026. Last month, Cboe Global Markets announced its intention to extend trading hours to 24 hours, five days a week, pending regulatory approval. Meanwhile, the New York Stock Exchange submitted its own application in October to provide 22-hour trading on weekdays.
