Exchange-traded funds and exchange-traded notes will be excluded in consideration of market volatility.<\/p>\n<p>Orders will be restricted to limit orders, excluding market orders. Korea Exchange plans to apply the same price band as the regular session, allowing moves of up to 30% above or below the previous day&#8217;s close, as well as volatility interruption mechanisms.<\/p>\n<p>An after-market-only market-making program will be introduced for illiquid stocks. The settlement cycle will be T+2, the same as in the regular session.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Korea Exchange said it will launch an after-market operating for four hours from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":148338,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[457],"tags":[530,524,534,522,523,529,528,526,525,527,533,531,337,864,532],"class_list":["post-148337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-korea-exchange","tag-bitcoin","tag-bitcoincommunity","tag-blockchain","tag-bloomingbit","tag-coincommunity","tag-coininfo","tag-coininvest","tag-coinnews","tag-coinreview","tag-coinstats","tag-cryptocurrency","tag-ethereum","tag-korea-exchange","tag-krx","tag-solana"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=148337"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148337\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/148338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=148337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=148337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
