what happened
Citadel Securities is enlarging its offices in Singapore and Sydney, by 40% and 65% respectively, Reuters reported, citing Asia-Pacific head Vikesh Kotecha. The firm plans to add traders, technologists and researchers across the region next year.
The expansion ties into a planned move toward near round-the-clock US stock trading. Citadel Securities says overnight sessions now make up about 1% of US trading volume, while pre- and post-market sessions reach up to 10%. Nasdaq plans 23-hour weekday trading in December, and Cboe plans 23/5 trading from December.
why it matters
Longer Asian trading hours could lift activity during Asian time and make US equity liquidity more available to regional clients. For markets, it signals a gradual shift in US trading structure toward continuous hours.

US equities: more overnight trading and liquidity during Asian hours
