Status Of Study On The Extension Of Trading Hours In Tokyo Stock Exchange

Date 03/09/2021

In the Working Group for Strengthening the Functions of the Cash Equity Market(hereinafter the WG) established in May 2021, in order to strengthen the functioning of the cash market over the medium term, the trading rules including trading hours have been discussed 4 times in the working group so far.


 
Regarding the trading hours, related parties of the WG are vigorously discussing the possibility of extending the trading hours by 30 minutes or several hours, based on the assumption that the extension would be done, but no decision has been made yet.

 
As a matter of course, since the impact will be far-reaching, we will continue to discuss the issue in the WG and will carefully proceed discussions with the related parties outside the WG.
