The importance of extended hours trading

Share prices can see significant volatility as traders and investors react to companies earnings announcements. The amount of market movement largely depends on whether or not the results are in line with analysts’ estimates.

As most US companies release their earnings outside of the main session, the majority of trading takes place pre and post-market. This means that extended hours trading is vital in order to take advantage of earnings volatility .

This is just one example of how to use extended market hours to your advantage. You can also capitalise on price movements around macroeconomic data releases and major news events.

What shares can I trade after hours?

There are over 200+ key US stocks that you can trade after hours with us, including Apple, Facebook and Amazon.

When you invest in shares, you'll buy the underlying asset and gain shareholder rights - such as voting privileges and dividend payments. When you invest with IG, you can trade US shares comission free (0.7% FX fee applies). Other fees and charges may apply.

CFD trading

A CFD is an agreement to exchange the difference in price of a market between the opening and closing of a trade. CFDs enable you to speculate on price movements in either direction by going long or short.

How much does extended hours trading cost?

When trading pre- and post-market with us, ours spreads and commissions are the same as those you’d get during the regular session.

However, the underlying market spreads can widen due to reduced liquidity. So, you might find you pay more to open or close a trade.
