24 Hour Markets
If you are looking to spread bet then note that FinancialSpreads, and most other spread betting firms, let you trade a wide range of markets throughout the night.

The Financial Spreads dealing desk is now open 24 hours a day, which means:

  • You can take advantage of overnight price movements
  • You can trade online or over the phone 24 hours a day
  • Your positions will be filled overnight if the Financial Spreads quote reaches your stop loss/limit level (Stop Losses are not guaranteed)
Here we talk about Financial Spreads and talk about their typical 24 hours.

Again, other brokers will have similar trading hours.
