As a massive portion of European trading takes place after US markets open, Chris Collins, equity trader at Lazard Asset Management, says the continent’s eight-and-a-half-hour trading day is outdated and needs renewed scrutiny. Looking at the last six months, Collins also dissects whether he has seen any shifts in volume distribution in response to the intermittent news events and elevated volatility.
While trends in the US show that platforms are experimenting with 24-hour access for the growing retail space, the equity trader looks at how European volumes remain predominantly institutionally driven and shares his views on the structural changes needed to advance the conversation around improving liquidity, competitiveness, and efficiency across the bloc.
