London Stock Exchange Plans to Launch Round-The-Clock Trading Next Year

According to the Financial Times, the London Stock Exchange has unveiled plans to allow round-the-clock trading, in the latest sign that traditional exchanges are trying to win back retail investors whose attention has been captured by 24-hour crypto platforms. The LSE said it would launch a night-time trading venue in the first half of 2027. The new exchange will operate separately from the LSE’s main market, and initially offer access to exchange-traded products such as funds tracking the UK or US stock market.
