SEOUL, Sept. 14 (Yonhap) -- A total of 1.8 trillion won (US$1.33 billion) worth of stocks were traded during South Korea's first after-hours stock trading session Monday, the Korea Exchange (KRX) said.

On the first day of the new session, investors were able to trade stocks listed on the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) and the tech-heavy Kosdaq in real time for four hours from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., following the regular 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. trading session, according to the KRX.

"With major U.S. stock exchanges, such as Nasdaq, set to begin 23-hour trading by the end of this year to attract liquidity, the move is aimed at laying the foundation for competition with global markets," a KRX official said.

During the four-hour session, a total of 72.24 million shares worth 1.82 trillion won changed hands on the two markets, accounting for 8.03 percent and 7.05 percent, respectively, of the 900 million shares worth 25.8 trillion won traded during the regular session from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Until Friday, after-hours stock trading was available only on the alternative trading system Nextrade (NXT) from 3:40 p.m. to 8 p.m.

On Monday, a total of 12.17 million shares worth 1.78 trillion won were traded on the NXT platform.

Unlike the NXT platform, where the number of stocks available for trading has been limited to 600, most stocks listed on the two markets became available for trading during the new four-hour after-hours session.

However, investors are barred from trading exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and exchange-traded notes (ETNs) during the four-hour session due to concerns about market volatility.

Daily stock price limits and market stabilization measures, such as circuit breakers, also apply to the after-hours session.

首尔，9月14日（韩联社）——韩国交易所（KRX）表示，周一韩国首个盘后股票交易日，股票总成交额达1.8万亿韩元（13.3亿美元）。

据韩国交易所（KRX）称，在新交易日的第一天，投资者可以在下午 4 点至晚上 8 点的四个小时内实时交易韩国综合股价指数（KOSPI）和科技股为主的韩国创业板（KOSDAQ）的股票，此前交易日为上午 9 点至下午 3 点 30 分。

韩国交易所一位官员表示：“随着纳斯达克等美国主要证券交易所计划在今年年底前开始实行23小时交易以吸引流动性，此举旨在为与全球市场竞争奠定基础。”

在四个小时的交易时段内，两个市场共成交7224万股，成交额达1.82万亿韩元，分别占上午9点至下午3点30分常规交易时段成交量9亿股（成交额25.8万亿韩元）的8.03%和7.05%。

直到上周五，盘后股票交易仅在另类交易系统 Nextrade (NXT) 上提供，时间为下午 3:40 至晚上 8:00。

周一，NXT平台共成交1217万股，成交额达1.78万亿韩元。

与 NXT 平台不同，NXT 平台可供交易的股票数量限制为 600 只，而这两个市场上的大多数股票在新推出的 4 小时盘后交易时段都可以进行交易。

然而，由于担心市场波动，投资者被禁止在四小时交易时段内交易交易所交易基金（ETF）和交易所交易票据（ETN）。

每日股价限制和市场稳定措施（如熔断机制）也适用于盘后交易时段。
