#CBOEIntroducesExtendedTradingForStockOptions CBOE Launches Extended Trading Hours for Stock Options, Offering Greater Flexibility to Investors
CHICAGO, [Date] – CBOE Global Markets, a leading global derivatives exchange, today announced the launch of extended trading hours for stock options, marking a significant shift in the U.S. options market.
Previously, stock options trading was limited to regular market hours (9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET). Under the new framework, traders can now access stock options during extended sessions, allowing for better risk management and faster reactions to after-hours news and earnings reports.
Key Highlights:
· New Trading Hours: 8:15 AM – 8:00 PM ET (extended from the standard schedule)
· Products Covered: Options on high-volume individual stocks and ETFs
· Key Benefit: Enables investors to hedge positions or adjust strategies outside traditional market hours
This move is expected to bring stock options trading in line with the growing demand for 24/5 access, similar to crypto and futures markets. Industry experts believe the extended hours will reduce overnight risk and improve liquidity during pre-market and after-hours sessions.
CBOE has confirmed that the service will roll out in phases, starting with select liquid stocks before expanding further.
