Cboe Launches Pre-Market Trading for Single-Stock Options

Extending pre-market hours to single-stock options is a structural shift in how overnight news gets priced, letting equity derivatives react before the cash open rather than waiting for the regular session. The early concentration in broad ETF contracts, with Tesla the notable single name, hints that macro and index-level positioning is leading adoption rather than stock-specific conviction. Whether that mix broadens as liquidity deepens is the open question, and it bears watching whether thin pre-market books widen spreads enough to deter larger orders.
