T
he Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) will extend its trading hours by 30 minutes starting Tuesday, shifting the market's closing time from 3:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the first such adjustment in 70 years.
The TSE's trading schedule will be from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., followed by a one-hour lunch break, and will resume from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., totaling five and a half hours of trading. The move aims to boost market activity and appeal to both domestic and international investors by expanding trading opportunities, according to Xinhua news agency. Although there were prior discussions about extending trading hours, concerns regarding administrative burdens on securities firms had prevented such changes until now.
