In the stock market world, trading does not only occur during regular hours. There are two additional periods, pre-market and after hours, where asset prices can fluctuate due to announcements and key events.
Although trading is not available during these periods on Hapi, understanding how they can impact your investments is essential.
What are Pre-Market and After Hours?
Pre-Market (7–9:30 AM ET): Occurs before the official market opening and usually starts several hours before the regular session.
After Hours (4–8 PM ET): This is the period after the market closes, during which stocks continue to move due to news and institutional investor decisions.
How Do They Impact Your Investments?
Increased volatility: During these periods, prices can fluctuate quickly due to low liquidity and immediate reactions to important news.
Impact of key announcements: Financial results, regulatory changes, or global events can affect asset prices outside regular hours.
Indicators for market opening: Pre-market behavior can give clues about how the market will move once it officially opens.
