The decision is another step towards making global markets fully accessible to retail investors. Yossi Brandes, Vice President of Execution Services at eToro, the company has been striving for years to make trading possible "for everyone, anywhere, at any time."

Brandes comments:

"Our mission from the beginning has been to open up global markets and enable trading for anyone, anywhere. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 include some of the world's most influential companies. With 24/5 trading, our users can make investment decisions as new information becomes available. We will continue to expand the list of available assets and develop our 24/5 offering to meet the growing needs of our global community."

24/5 trading covers the entire period from Sunday 20:05 PM to Friday 16:00 PM ETIn practice, this allows:

• react to market news, quarterly reports and macro releases even when the US cash market is closed;
• reduce the so-called overnight risk, especially important for highly volatile technology companies;
• adapt your investment activity to local time zones – which can be crucial for investors outside the US.

For eToro users outside the US, this means significantly increased portfolio control and the ability to more precisely respond to global market events. The platform also announced further expansions to the list of instruments available 24/5 in the coming months.
