Pepperstone has introduced around-the-clock trading on US shares this earnings season. This allows users to trade in the wake of corporate reports, which are rarely released during traditional market hours.

Key Takeaways

  • 24-hour trading is available on 37 major US stock CFDs, including Apple, Alphabet, Tesla and Meta.
  • There is a $0.02 charge per share and no minimum commission on global shares.
  • Markets typically exhibit lower liquidity during after hours trading which can result in wider spreads and execution issues.

With fewer traders coupled with unexpected news events and geopolitical developments, pre- and post-market sessions can see greater volatility. This provides opportunities for skilled short-term traders but also increases the risk of significant losses.

That said, Pepperstone’s out-of-hours session operates independently from the standard US session, offering a degree of protection for traders with a lower tolerance for risk.
