Nasdaq Plans Overnight U.S. Stock Trading Amid Operational and Regulatory Discussion
What happened
Nasdaq plans to begin an overnight U.S. stock trading session from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. ET on December 6. This expansion aims to address a time-zone gap for Asia-Pacific investors. During a WFIC 2026 panel, representatives from Nasdaq, Morgan Stanley, and TraditionData discussed the operational pressures and regulatory conditions surrounding the change.

Why it matters
The new trading window allows Asia-Pacific investors to act on U.S. economic news during their workday, addressing a time-zone mismatch. However, industry participants noted that the extended hours increase demands on trading firms, particularly concerning reporting and client coverage across time zones.
Morgan Stanley has been involved in market activity on the electronic stock exchange, with filings received regarding this activity.
