TREE NEWS update: The Korea Exchange will open trading in almost all local stocks until 8pm from Monday, extending past the current 3:30pm close in a first for a major Asian bourse. The move is a step toward the exchange’s goal of 24-hour trading from December 2027 and will test whether sufficient liquidity can be sustained over the longer session.
Korea Exchange to Test Evening Trading From Monday, First in Asia
AI take
Extending the session is less about convenience than about testing whether a market can hold depth beyond its traditional hours — a question every exchange eyeing longer trading eventually faces. For the KRX, the real experiment is liquidity, not the clock: an evening session that thins out too much undermines the case for the 24-hour ambition. What's worth watching is whether volume in the extended window builds or merely redistributes from the existing close.
