Reflecting the growing global demand for 24/7 access to US markets, Cboe Global Markets has received SEC approval to offer extended trading hours for select multi-listed equity options. Scheduled to launch on July 13, 2026, the expansion will cover options for high-volume firms including Nvidia, Tesla, and Apple. This regulatory milestone allows market participants to react to overnight news and global events outside of traditional US primary session hours.

Sign InThis approval comes amid intensifying competition among exchange operators to capture global liquidity, as Cboe strategically targets revenue growth in its derivatives segment. In comparison, peer exchanges like Nasdaq have seen steady growth in options volume, prompting Cboe to enhance its competitive edge per market data. Analysts suggest that providing pre-market and post-market capabilities will specifically benefit international retail and institutional traders who previously faced execution gaps.
Monitoring current price levels, Cboe closed at $195.40, while NVDA stood at $1,140.20 and AAPL at $190.30 (close May 28, 2026). Investors should watch for upcoming macroeconomic catalysts, noting that US CB Consumer Confidence recently printed at 93.1 on May 26, 2026, which may influence underlying stock volatility ahead of the new trading session implementation in July.
