London Stock Exchange to Launch Overnight Trading Venue for Exchange-Traded Products in 2027
The London Stock Exchange (LSE) plans to launch LSE 24, a separate overnight trading venue for exchange-traded products, in the first half of 2027. Operating from 5 p.m. to 7:50 a.m. London time with a 30-minute pause, it aims to meet growing investor demand for extended trading hours amid competition from 24/7 digital assets. While initially focused on funds tracking UK and US markets, LSE's CEO indicated equities could be added later. The main market will maintain traditional hours.
