Whats Changing for IG Japan Clients?
Under the IG Japan trading hours change on July 21, 2025, trading for the listed U.S. assets will now be available from 5:00 PM to 9:00 AM Japan Standard Time the following day, with a slightly earlier close at 6:00 AM on Fridays, in line with U.S. daylight saving time.
This after-hours trading IG Securities July 2025 update boosts flexibility for Japan-based investors, keeping an eye on key U.S. economic developments and overseas stock momentum.
The list of tradable assets includes well-known equities and ETFs such as:
- Albemarle Corp, First Solar Inc., and Target Corp

These instruments will be accessible during the extended sessions, marking a pivotal development for trading hours for U.S. stocks and ETFs in Japan.
If you're already holding these positions or planning new trades, it's crucial to review the new hours and adjust accordingly. Orders such as stop-limit and limit orders placed before the start of the new session will be executable during the extended period if market prices are met.
