It isn't going to change anything in the grand scheme of things. The market swings on news, and there's mostly no news after hours. And even when there is, people who want to trade already manage to do it 24x7 in a variety of ways (hence the wild swings sometimes in between market closing and opening the following day).
- helsinkiandrew 3y ago> there’s mostly no news after hours Just about all market moving company and government economic news is announced after hours when the market is closed.
- paxys 3y agoIt's announced after hours because the market is closed. If it stays open 24x7 then there's no reason not to announce the news in the middle of the day. So after-work trading will still be minimal even if the markets remain open.
- planetpluta 3y ago> there’s mostly no news after hours As I understand it, most company earnings are released after hours and many important press releases are held until the market has closed to allow the news to be “digested” offline
