25. January 2016

Deutsche Börse Cash Market: The Frankfurt Stock Exchange is expanding its bond trading services. With effect from 1 February 2016, bonds will be tradable via the Börse Frankfurt venue from the earlier time of 8 a.m. until 5.30 p.m., rather than the previous 9 a.m. start.

The extended trading hours will enable investors to trade new issues one hour earlier and to react to changes in the markets from 8 a.m. also for bonds, as is already the case for equities, exchange traded funds (ETFs), exchange traded products (ETPs) and funds.

The range of bonds available at Börse Frankfurt will be further expanded. Market specialists currently provide continuously tradable quotes for over 25,000 bonds from around 3,500 issuers. Liquidity for a further 2,700 less-liquid bonds is pooled in one daily pricing.
