The New York Stock Exchange is considering the introduction of 24/7 stock trading capabilities, as highlighted by a recent poll. The importance of the final 10 minutes of the trading day grows, with about a third of all S&P 500 trades executed in that window, up from 27% in 2021. Currently, U.S. equities markets operate for 390 minutes per day, but recent data highlights a significant trend where the last 10 minutes account for over 30% of all trading activity. This surge is attributed to the strategies of passive investing ETFs, which predominantly execute buy and sell orders at market close.
Stocks trade for 390 minutes a day. Increasingly, only 10 matter. https://t.co/RuSxyQVQzs via @business

Last 10 minutes of trading now accounts for more than 30% of all trading in the session. Per Bloomberg. This is up from 26% in 2021. A phenomenon due to passive investing ETFs that only buy and sell at closing. https://t.co/YjUV2MMjdy
