  • Hong Kong's 24-Hour Stock Trading Debate: Liquidity and Price Discovery Concerns
    June 26, 2026, 1:34 AM EDT. Hong Kong faces calls for 24-hour stock trading to boost global competitiveness, following moves by Nasdaq and Korea Exchange. However, experts warn extended hours may dilute liquidity, impacting price discovery and increasing volatility. Current trading is concentrated around defined daily sessions with a closing price as a benchmark for index funds managing trillions.
