amana introduces 24/5 trading on U.S. stocks and ETFs, giving traders in MENA round-the-clock access to the world’s biggest markets.
The feature allows users to react to news, earnings, and global events without waiting for Wall Street to open.
Early adoption has been strong, with 60% of traders using the extended sessions within the first month.
MENA broker, Amana, has rolled out 24/5 trading on US equity and ETF derivatives, making it easier for active traders to seize market opportunities.
With this new offering, amana aims to solve a major frustration for stock traders in the region. Until now, when news broke or prices moved while US markets were closed, traders had no choice but to wait for the opening bell.
Amana’s new feature aims to change that. Now, from 4:00 AM Monday until 1:00 AM Saturday (Dubai time), users can trade US stocks and ETFs like Tesla, Nvidia, or JPMorgan in real time without waiting for New York to wake up.
Muhammad Rasoul, CEO of amana, said the change is about flipping the script for traders:
“Active equity traders deserve a platform that works around them not the other way around. By offering 24/5 trading on U.S. equity derivatives, amana is making global markets more flexible, more inclusive, and more accessible than ever.”
In just the first four weeks of launch, 60% of accounts trading US equities and ETFs on amana executed during the extended hours.
Francis Frem, an amana customer, explained how it has changed his approach:
“Trading CFDs 24/5 helps me react to global news that affects prices, even when the specific market is closed. I can follow price movements at all times and trade when it suits me. I can also protect my existing positions and manage my risk better, shorting some positions when needed.”
Beyond the ability to react quickly, the move highlights amana’s commitment to building tools that empower traders to act faster and trade smarter. With leverage available across all US stocks, users can take advantage of earnings reports, global events and sudden volatility as they happen.
And US equities make up only one part of amana’s offering. Amana has built an all-in-one platform with access to more than 6,800 assets, including global and local stocks, ETFs, CFDs, commodities, indices, 375+ cryptocurrencies, and over 70 forex pairs, all from a single account.
