Pepperstone Expands 24-Hour CFDs with 79 Stocks

Pepperstone Expands 24-Hour CFDs by adding 79 new US share CFDs, bringing its total to over 100 top-traded stocks. This expansion enables traders to seize market opportunities beyond standard exchange hours, allowing them to react instantly to breaking news and economic reports.

The company’s decision follows an overwhelming response to its initial 24-hour US shares CFD launch in early 2024. Major corporate earnings, economic data releases, and geopolitical developments often trigger significant price movements outside regular trading hours, so Pepperstone aims to equip traders with the flexibility to act immediately.

Analysts at Pepperstone have identified strong trends in after-hours trading for high-momentum US stocks. Their research highlights that nearly all gains in certain mega-cap stocks since March 2024 have occurred outside standard cash equity hours.

Tesla saw 97% of its share price gains during non-traditional trading hours, while Nvidia and Alphabet recorded 82% and 91%, respectively, outside Nasdaq’s cash session. Chris Weston, Head of Research at Pepperstone, emphasized the importance of these findings, noting that traders who thrive in periods of heightened volatility have benefited the most from overnight trading. 

“He pointed out that the overnight session has been particularly lucrative for NAS100 traders and key US equity players. According to Weston, the growing trend of after-hours performance could make 24-hour US equity pricing a new industry standard, especially with Nvidia’s upcoming earnings report in focus.” 

Starting today, Pepperstone’s expanded 24-hour US share CFD lineup includes major technology players like ASML, Palantir, and Baidu, along with retail and entertainment stocks such as GameStop, Uber, and Netflix. Financial sector leaders Mastercard and Visa also join the mix, offering traders an extensive selection of stocks to navigate market movements around the clock.

In Conclusion, Pepperstone’s expansion of 24-hour CFDs empowers traders with greater flexibility to act on market movements beyond regular hours. With over 100 top-traded US stocks now available, traders can capitalize on key events as they unfold. This development reinforces Pepperstone’s commitment to providing enhanced trading opportunities.
