What happens when the stock market never really sleeps? In today's episode, we break down the latest proposal to move U.S. equity markets to 23 hours of trading per day. Is this a true evolution in market structure—or a recipe for thinner liquidity, higher volatility, and trader fatigue?
We'll explore what changes, who benefits, and who doesn't, and how extended trading hours could impact price discovery, overnight risk, and institutional participation. We'll also dig into the latest unemployment rate, manufacturing data, and hourly earnings, and explain how these economic signals feed directly into market expectations.
If you trade equities, futures, or macro themes, this episode is required listening.
