CMC Markets expands trading in more than 80 US stocks

Beginning Monday, March 17, 2025, CMC Markets facilitates post-marketing for more than 80 prominent stocks, providing an additional four-hour window after the close of US exchanges.

This comes after it introduced extended trading hours on the ‘7 Great Stocks’ we reported on in January.

Key conclusions

• Pre- and post-market trading is now available on 87 popular US stocks on CMC, including Amazon, Apple and Nvidia.
• Trade the latest news and earnings reports and manage positions when regular markets are closed.
• Order types and execution remain the same at CMC, although lower trade limits may result in wider spreads.

Long-term trading: opportunities and risks

Extended hours trading allows traders to buy and sell stocks outside of normal market hours, including before and after market sessions, providing greater flexibility to respond to news and global events.

However, while it offers opportunities to capitalize on price movements and hedging positions, it also comes with risks such as reduced liquidity, wider spreads and increased volatility due to reduced market participation.

As a result, a detailed trading plan and a smart approach to risk management are required.
