Pepperstone has shared a major expansion of its 24-hour US share CFDs, adding 79 new stocks to its lineup. This move brings the total number of the most-traded US stocks available to traders to over 100. The expanded offering provides traders with the opportunity to capitalize on market-moving events outside of traditional equity exchange hours.

The additions come after what Pepperstone describes as overwhelming demand for its initial 24-hour US share CFD offering, launched in early 2024. With significant market-driving events, such as corporate earnings releases, economic reports, and breaking news often occurring outside regular trading hours, this expansion ensures that clients can respond to opportunities or mitigate risks the moment news hits.

Also, Pepperstone’s analysts have provided insight into the growing significance of overnight trading. By analyzing recent data, they found that some of the highest-performing US equities, including Tesla, Nvidia, and Alphabet, saw a large portion of their gains occurring outside the typical Nasdaq cash session:

• 97% of Tesla’s share price gains took place outside of Nasdaq trading hours.
• 82% of Nvidia’s share price gains occurred outside of regular trading hours.
• 91% of Alphabet’s share price gains were registered outside the Nasdaq cash session.

Moreover, Chris Weston, Head of Research at Pepperstone, noted, “The data trends we’ve observed suggest that for traders whose strategy thrives in periods of trend and heightened movement, the overnight session has produced the best returns for the NAS100 and many major US equities. This relative performance may very well make 24-hour US equity pricing the new standard for equity traders in the future.”

With today’s update, Pepperstone’s 24-hour US share CFD offering now includes not only tech giants like Tesla, Nvidia, and Alphabet, but also other leading companies such as ASML, Palantir, Baidu, GameStop, Uber, Netflix, Mastercard, and Visa.
