Business Insider· 2025-12-18 17:50
纳斯达克计划延长交易时间至每周23小时 - 纳斯达克计划向美国证券交易委员会提交申请,寻求批准将股票交易时间延长至每周23小时,即接近全天候交易 [1] - 此举将打破自1980年代以来确立的上午9:30至下午4:00的长期交易时段 [1] - 市场专业人士对此前景看法不一 [1] 延长交易时间的支持观点 - 支持者认为,全天候交易有助于市场民主化,使交易更容易进行,特别是对美国以外的交易者 [4] - 资深经济学家何塞·托雷斯指出,延长交易时间可以解决正常朝九晚五工作或居住在美国境外人士的交易困难 [4] - 期权交易与教育平台Explosive Options创始人鲍勃·兰格认为此举最终是积极的,因为它可能使更多人开始交易 [5] - 托雷斯认为,这将为更多不同人口结构、应用场景和地理区域的参与者提供更大的参与机会,并能对夜间发生的事件提供实时观察和反应 [5] 延长交易时间的反对与担忧 - 反对者担心此举可能导致不公平的竞争环境,或使股票交易游戏化,让市场更接近加密货币市场 [2] - 有观点认为,增加的交易时间可能使资产(尤其是加密货币,其价格常在周末大幅波动)波动性更大 [2] - 首席投资官迈克尔·阿什利·舒尔曼指出,在24小时交易市场中,优势可能在于已经拥有庞大工具和资源的参与者,特别是对冲基金和量化公司 [6] - 鲍勃·兰格认为,聪明资金本身不会真正参与这个盘后交易市场,交易量不足以创造一个对个人非常公平的市场 [6] - 舒尔曼进一步表示,优势倾向于那些能够以微秒级速度监控、建模和执行交易的参与者,在交易清淡的夜间时段,人工交易者绝对会开始落后于机器,散户应预期更多古怪的价格波动 [7] - 董事长兼首席投资官路易斯·纳维利尔认为,该计划存在过度的风险,在下午四点正常市场收盘后,存在“鲨鱼”出没的风险,以及卖空者和海外市场试图操纵一切的风险 [8] 行业竞争背景 - 罗宾汉已经为一些热门股票提供了24小时交易市场,而加密货币市场则以7天24小时交易闻名 [2][9] - 纽约证券交易所已于今年2月申请了22小时交易制 [9] - 在纳维利尔看来,纳斯达克急于引入全天候交易是为了跟上其竞争对手的步伐 [9]
