The London Stock Exchange will open a new off-hours venue to deliver
near-continuous weekday trading. The service, named LSE 24, will operate from
17:00 to 07:50 the following day; client testing is expected to conclude by
end-2026. LSE 24 will run separately from the exchange’s main market, which will
continue to operate as normal. Exchange-traded products (ETPs) are slated to be
the first asset class available, targeted for H1 2027. CEO Julia Hoggett said
LSE 24 is intended to give clients greater flexibility and to enhance liquidity
and market participation beyond traditional trading hours.
