Deutsche Börse Launches 24/7 Trading for 40 DAX Stocks

The exchange says the new service lets investors react to news outside core hours.

Overview

  • The service went live on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, with out‑of‑hours orders executed on the 360X platform during nights and weekends.
  • Xetra remains the reference venue for European core hours and official opening auctions so overnight 360X prices do not set the Xetra opening price.
  • Trades executed on 360X are ordinary DAX shares with full voting and dividend rights and are cleared through existing Clearstream accounts.
  • Access is limited at launch because only a handful of institutions are connected to 360X and retail investors can trade only if their bank or broker offers access.
  • Deutsche Börse frames the rollout as a scalable test to measure demand for round‑the‑clock blue‑chip trading while warning that off‑hour liquidity is likely thinner with wider bid‑ask spreads and higher execution risk.
