Deutsche Börse opens DAX share trading on 360X around the clock
Deutsche Börse has opened round-the-clock trading in shares of the 40 companies in Germany’s DAX index on its 360X platform.
The shares are real securities, not digital tokens, and include companies such as SAP, Siemens and Airbus.
Private investors still need a broker to access the platform, and the required partners are not yet in place.
Unlike trading on XETRA, 360X uses a system in which buyers request offers and can accept or reject them; a trade happens only if both sides agree.
There is no constantly updated XETRA price overnight or at weekends, so the price on 360X may differ from the usual reference price.
The extra hours could let investors react quickly to unexpected events, but trading volumes are expected to be lower than during regular market hours.
Deutsche Börse has opened trading in shares of DAX companies on its 360X platform around the clock.
The service allows trading at night and on weekends, unlike the regular XETRA market.
Private investors need a broker to trade on 360X, and Deutsche Börse says partners are still missing.
Trades use a request-for-quote process, rather than continuous trading through XETRA.
The new service is intended to let investors react quickly to unexpected events outside regular market hours.
