Korea Exchange (KRX) said on the 3rd that it will open a pre-market (7–8 a.m.) and an after-market (4–8 p.m.) around regular trading hours in June. It also plans to introduce a 24-hour trading system by the end of 2027.
Korea Exchange (KRX) explained, "Labor and management also share the view that extending trading hours, including opening the pre- and after-market, is unavoidable to respond to intensifying competition among domestic and overseas exchanges."
Korea Exchange (KRX) added that, together with labor and management, it plans to work to ensure that the opening of the pre- and after-market proceeds smoothly to enhance the competitiveness of the capital market.
