Why is 24 hours needed, could set once a day. No need to be casino like 24 hours.
24 hrs forex would enable South Korean stocks to join the MSCI developed world indexes and move a lot more money into the country. Don’t think it will happen for Taiwan anytime soon though.
Interesting!
I didn’t know that the lack of 24h currency trading is one of the reasons Taiwan and South Korea don’t count as “developed” countries in the eyes of the MSCI index.
