Traders are the big winners as 24/7 stocks will finally end the after-hours price 'manipulation'
CoinDesk
The shift to 24/7 stock trading is expected to empower retail investors by eliminating after-hours price manipulation by brokers.Summary
Major U.S. exchanges are moving toward 24/7 trading, a shift that experts believe will benefit retail traders by curbing the influence of intermediaries. Currently, thin liquidity during off-hours allows brokers to potentially manipulate prices and trigger stop losses to their advantage. By enabling round-the-clock trading, markets can maintain better liquidity and transparency, reducing the ability of middlemen to exploit price gaps and providing investors with the freedom to react to news in real time.
