Summary · why it matters

Five major online brokerages, including SBI Securities and Rakuten Securities, will make it possible to buy and sell US stocks during Japan's daytime hours, Nikkei reported on the 12th. Behind this is the extension of trading hours in US stock markets. Nasdaq plans to extend trading to 23 hours on weekdays, with the SEC approving a rule change in April this year and a start scheduled for December 2026. Nasdaq's current trading hours are from 4 a.m. to 8 p.m. US Eastern Time, but overnight trading from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. the next morning will be added, and from Japan's perspective, this US nighttime falls exactly during the daytime. NYSE Arca, under the New York Stock Exchange, and the major US exchange Cboe are also moving in a similar direction, because US stocks are no longer a trading target only for Americans. In March this year, PayPay listed on the Nasdaq in the US. One of Japan's leading payment services chose a US stock market rather than Japan as its listing venue. Companies list in the US. Investors are in Japan. Smartphone apps connected the two.
