The London Stock Exchange plans to launch a night-time trading venue in the first half of 2027, operating from 5 pm to 7:50 am London time, to cater to increasing retail trader demand for exposure to UK and global assets.
The dollar-won exchange rate narrowed its gains in overnight trading, closing at 1,520.20 won per dollar. This comes after the US May CPI largely met expectations, with the dollar index remaining flat, causing the exchange rate to give back some of its gains from the regular session.
The dollar-won exchange rate rose above 1,510 won in overnight trading, driven by heightened risk aversion due to Iran's threats to block the Strait of Hormuz and expand regional conflict if its demands are not met.
