South Korea’s Korea Exchange is extending trading sessions to 8 p.m. starting Monday, moving beyond Asia’s typical 3:30 p.m. close to attract global investors. This step aligns with a worldwide shift toward 24-hour markets, led by Nasdaq Inc. Bloomberg Terminal and New York Stock Exchange, and marks the first such move among major Asian exchanges.

The extended hours aim to sustain demand from international participants, though specific investor response remains unconfirmed.
