Charles Schwab Expands 24-Hour Trading to Major Index Stocks and ETFs

The brokerage firm will gradually roll out the service to all clients by early 2025, catering to growing demand for extended trading hours.

Charles Schwab will offer 24-hour trading for all stocks in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100, along with hundreds of ETFs.
Select Schwab clients will gain access in two weeks, with a full rollout expected by the first quarter of 2025.
The decision follows increased interest from retail investors, particularly those under 40, in extended trading hours.
Schwab's platform for overnight trading will be powered by Blue Ocean Technologies, which supports other brokerages like Robinhood.
The New York Stock Exchange also plans to extend its trading hours to 22 hours daily, reflecting a broader industry trend.
