London Stock Exchange plans to launch round-the-clock trading next year, FT reports

London Stock Exchange plans to launch a separate around-the-clock trading venue next year, operating from 5 p.m. to 7:50 a.m. London time, initially offering exchange-traded products tracking UK or US stock markets. The move follows similar 24-hour or extended-hours initiatives by Nasdaq, CME and Cboe, driven by retail demand and competition from crypto markets. The main LSE venue will continue operating standard hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
