Korea Exchange to Test Evening Trading From Monday, First in Asia

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.
