Pepperstone Has Launched 24-Hour CFD Trading On US Shares
According to the update, Pepperstone has started offering 24-hour CFD trading on US shares. The company said users can access this new service through MetaTrader, cTrader, and TradingView. The service lets traders respond to important news and events even when the market is closed.
Stock markets are open only during specific hours, but major events like company earnings and world news can happen outside of these times. Pepperstone said its 24-hour CFD trading allows traders to use these opportunities and lessen the risk of price gaps when the market opens.
The new service includes well-known stocks like Nvidia, Tesla, and Apple. Pepperstone noted that traders can invest in these stocks with fees starting as low as $0.02 per share. Furthermore, there is no minimum commission required to purchase or sell stocks.
Pepperstone’s latest move is in line with talks at the New York Stock Exchange about trading around the clock. This update is a popular trend in cryptocurrency markets and made easier by trading platforms. Pepperstone said it is the first firm to provide this service on TradingView, cTrader, and MT5.
