Experts Discuss Infrastructure and Challenges of 24/7 Financial Market Trading
Traditional financial markets are increasingly adopting 24/7 trading, with CME Group reporting significant gold futures activity during its inaugural weekend and the London Stock Exchange planning a 24/5 digital trading venue. Macroeconomist Fu Peng and Vantage Markets highlight that while extended access may enhance flexibility and price discovery, challenges like weekend price gaps, thin liquidity, and execution risks remain. They emphasize that continuous trading requires robust infrastructure for clearing, settlement, and risk management, and that market pauses still serve important functions for investor reflection.
