In addition, the close of the AHFT clearing session will be extended from 11:45 pm to 12:30 am.
The purpose of AHFT is to cover most of Europe’s business hours and the morning part of the US business day so that investors who use the stock index futures and RMB Futures that trade them after hours can react to the market news from those places during those periods.
