AI Market Summary
Nasdaq plans to extend US equity trading to nearly 23 hours per day, five days a week, with a new overnight session targeted for Dec 6, 2026, pending SEC and SIP readiness. Longer hours could deepen access for global investors but may fragment liquidity and widen spreads outside core sessions. Planned controls like static price bands aim to mitigate overnight volatility and outlier orders.
