Interactive Brokers Introduces Overnight Trading Hours for US ETFs

Interactive Brokers, one of the biggest US-based brokerage firms, announced yesterday the introduction of Overnight Trading Hours on the IBKR Eos ATS (IBEOS), enabling clients to react immediately to market-moving news and conveniently trade at almost any time.

All clients with US Stock trading permission will have access to Overnight Trading on IBEOS, and can leverage multiple order types and free overnight market data. In addition, the latest introduction will bring benefits to the broker's Asian clients seeking access to US Equity Markets during their trading day.

​"Global investors need to respond to market-moving news whenever it happens, not just during regular US market hours," said Steve Sanders, EVP of Marketing and Product Development at Interactive Brokers. "With Overnight Trading Hours on IBEOS, our individual and institutional clients now have greater flexibility when to trade and can take advantage of investment opportunities around the clock."

Currently, Interactive Brokers provides Overnight Trading on IBEOS in 24 widely-held US ETFs.

Previously, the brokerage firm has opened a new office in Dublin, Ireland​.
