The London Stock Exchange (LSE) says it will launch a new trading venue outside its regular market hours to provide near-continuous trading during the working week. Bloomberg reports the exchange will open the new venue in a step toward “near-continuous trading.” Moneyweb and other outlets specify that the planned offering, called LSE 24, is scheduled to run from 5:00 p.m. to 7:50 a.m. London time. Moneyweb adds that the platform is expected to be ready for client testing by the end of 2026, indicating a phased rollout ahead of the start of the new service. MarketWatch frames the move as part of a broader shift among major exchanges toward longer trading hours, reflecting investors’ interest in trading around the clock and across time zones. Financial Post and Bloomberg also describe the initiative as positioning LSE against alternative trading platforms that offer 24/7 trading. Across the reports, the core details are that LSE will add an additional venue with extended evening-to-morning sessions, branded as LSE 24, with testing planned for late 2026 and launch targeted for the following year.
