Boerse Stuttgart will soon be extending its trading hours. With effect from 1 April, trading will commence at 8.00 hours CET.
Initially the change will be limited to German DAX, MDAX, SDAX and TecDAX shares as well as international equities, participation certificates and bonds. Up to the present, the same trading hours (from 9.00 to 20.00 hours), have applied to all categories of securities.
“Our decision to extend trading hours comes in response to the wishes of many retail investors, who want to react even more quickly to developments on the international markets. In this age of 24-hour global stock market activity, investors can now follow the latest news in Asia, for example, in the early hours of the morning,” says Christoph Lammersdorf, CEO of Boerse Stuttgart Holding GmbH.
