This is actually a big structural change, not just a time change. Longer trading hours mean more institutional participation, better price discovery, and potentially higher daily volume. Over time, this could reduce volatility spikes at closing and make the market more efficient. More time in the market means more liquidity, more participation, and better execution for smart money.
