New York Stock Exchange extends options trading hours
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 16:19 · Archive
The New York Stock Exchange has begun offering extended-hours options trading from 7:30 AM to 9:25 AM and 4:00 PM to 4:15 PM Eastern Time.
The New York Stock Exchange began extended-hours options trading on Monday, becoming the second major exchange after CBOE to offer the service. The new sessions run from 7:30 AM to 9:25 AM and 4:00 PM to 4:15 PM Eastern Time. Twenty-nine major stocks and funds qualify for extended trading, including Nvidia, Bank of America, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust and the iShares Russell 2000 ETF. UPI reports that Alphabet, Amazon and Oracle are also included.
Kevin Tyrrell, chief product officer for the NYSE, said the move reflects 'market demand for investment opportunities and reliable risk management during a longer period of time'. The exchange plans to extend options trading to 23 hours, five days a week, in the same names beginning December 6, 2026.
The move reflects broader appetite for extended trading. CBOE data shows extended hours trading hit record levels of more than 199,000 contracts per day on average. Cryptocurrency and prediction markets have already pioneered 24/7 trading schedules. Initial activity on the NYSE's first extended session was modest, with UPI reporting less than $100,000 in contracts traded, though notable volume appeared in Tesla options ahead of earnings.
