London Stock Exchange Unveils 24/5 Trading Venue

On July 21, 2026, the London Stock Exchange announced "LSE 24," a venue enabling continuous trading five days a week, mirroring round-the-clock FX and futures markets. It moves well beyond London's traditional 08:00–16:30 session to stimulate activity. Whether liquidity — the ease of buying and selling without moving prices — and settlement infrastructure can support it remains unclear.
