[Latest News] Longbridge Launches US Stock Overnight Trading, Enabling 24-Hour Trading

We have launched the US stock overnight trading service, offering 24-hour trading for US stocks. This innovation caters to investors seeking to optimize their global market strategies by enabling transactions during Hong Kong's daytime on weekdays. By integrating pre-market and after-hours trading sessions, Longbridge provides Hong Kong investors with a "5×24" round-the-clock trading service, delivering greater flexibility and a richer global investment experience.

A New Trading Period Revolutionizing Overnight Habits

The overnight trading feature introduces a brand-new trading window for investors, allowing them to trade after regular US market hours. This ensures responsiveness to international market developments and meets the diverse needs of investors across time zones. The night trading session runs from 8:00 PM to 3:50 AM EST (8:00 AM to 3:50 PM HKT during daylight saving time), and from 9:00 AM to 4:50 PM HKT during standard time. This trading period complements pre-market, regular, and after-hours sessions, forming a seamless 24-hour US stock trading ecosystem. Overnight trading follows the exchange's holiday calendar, aligning its trading days with regular sessions.

Overnight trading offers unique opportunities for risk hedging ahead of potential market fluctuations, allowing investors to adjust their strategies swiftly in response to global financial dynamics. This feature accommodates investors in different time zones and those unable to trade during regular hours, enhancing trading flexibility and opportunities.

Stocks and ETFs Available for Short Selling, Maximizing Investment Potential

Currently, we support overnight trading for stocks and ETFs, with an initial offering of 55 securities—the largest selection among Hong Kong brokers providing US stock overnight trading. Short selling is also supported during overnight trading. Our Longbridge App now features a "24H" tag on stock detail pages to simplify navigation, enabling investors to identify securities eligible for night trading quickly.

The introduction of US stock overnight trading significantly enhances convenience for Hong Kong clients, providing a more enriching global investment experience. Recognizing the growing interest in US stock investments among Hong Kong investors, we have developed this functionality to address time-zone challenges, enabling seamless global trading.

We continue to innovate through fintech, empowering investors with smarter decision-making tools for Hong Kong and US stocks. Our platform reduces barriers and costs, offering a comprehensive global investment experience.

Commitment to providing a commission-free trading platform for Hong Kong and US stocks is part of our ongoing efforts. With access to over 32,000 financial products—including stocks, US options, exchange-traded derivatives, ETFs, REITs, and mutual funds—investors enjoy a wealth of global opportunities and premium services.
