Nordnet First in Sweden to Offer Pre-Market Trading of US Stocks

Nordnet has become the first major Swedish financial services provider to offer pre-market trading of U.S. stocks, according to Dagens industri. The new service allows clients to trade shares on the NYSE and Nasdaq beginning at 13:00 Swedish time, enabling investors to react in real-time to corporate reports and breaking news before the standard market opening. While this feature offers a potential strategic advantage, Nordnet advises investors to be aware of the inherent risks. Pre-market sessions typically exhibit lower liquidity due to reduced participation, which can result in wider spreads and increased volatility compared to regular trading hours. Nordnet's social investment network, Shareville, is also available as a resource for its users. The platform allows investors to follow other portfolios and discuss market events, providing valuable insights and inspiration.
