IG, a UK-based trading and investing platform, has launched 24/5 trading on 110 US stocks. The move allows UK investors to trade outside standard US market hours.

Trading is now available from 1am Monday to 10pm Friday. Major stocks such as Apple, Tesla, and NVIDIA are included. Previously, IG clients could access US stocks for up to 16 hours daily, from 9am to 1am.

“We want to give our UK customers the best possible access to global markets so that they can invest and trade easily at their own convenience. With round-the-clock trading during the week, UK investors now have more of a level playing field with their US peers when it comes to the world’s most traded stocks,” Michael Healy, UK Managing Director at IG, commented.

The extended hours let investors react to earnings announcements, economic data, and other market-moving news. The 24/5 offering covers both traditional investing and leveraged trading.

This launch follows other product expansions from IG, including the addition of cryptocurrencies and commission-free stock investing earlier this year.
