FOREX.com, operated by StoneX Securities Co., Ltd, today announced weekend trading for US SP 500 and US Tech 100 CFDs in Japan.

The availability of weekend trading gives investors greater flexibility to respond to significant developments and market-moving events outside traditional trading hours. Investors can manage positions and express their market views without having to wait for the underlying markets to reopen on Monday. The extended trading window also provides investors with an additional tool to manage risk and respond more promptly to evolving global events.

Johan Gade, Head of Retail – Japan, StoneX, commented:

“Markets are increasingly shaped by events that occur outside traditional trading hours, and investors expect the ability to respond in real time. In August, we were the first in Japan to offer overnight trading on selected Japan Stock CFDs and Japan Stock CFD Knock-Out Options, extending access to trading opportunities outside regular domestic market hours.

Today, we are building on that momentum and offering weekend trading on the US SP 500 and US Tech 100 CFDs. By broadening access across both the Japanese and US markets, we are empowering clients by providing them with more solutions to help manage risks, act on new information, and engage with global markets.”
