Pepperstone now offers 24-hour US stock trading

Pepperstone now offers a 24-hour trading system for US stocks during earnings season. This allows traders to trade in the wake of company reports, which are rarely published during traditional market hours.

Main takeaways:

24-hour trading is available on 37 major US stock CFDs, including Apple, Alphabet, Tesla and Meta.
There is a fee of $0.02 per share and no minimum commission on global stocks.
Markets generally exhibit lower liquidity outside of trading hours, which can result in wider spreads and execution issues.
With fewer traders and unexpected events and geopolitical developments, pre- and post-market sessions may experience greater volatility. This situation provides opportunities for skilled traders in the short term, but also increases the risk of significant losses.

That said, Pepperstone's off-hours session operates independently of the standard US session, providing a degree of protection for traders with lower risk tolerance.
