The Muscat Stock Exchange (MSX) will extend daily trading by an hour to boost activity and market liquidity.

The move will take effect from June 1, with the market closing at 3pm local time instead of 2pm, the exchange said in a statement.

The pre-opening session will run from 9:30 to 10am, while continuous trading will operate from 10am until 2:45pm. 

The pre-closing session will take place from 2:45 to 2:55pm, followed by trading at closing prices from 2:55 to 3pm.

The revised timetable will support higher levels of liquidity and trading activity, unidentified market officials told the Oman Observer

The bourse’s main index has gained 3.5 percent since closing at 7,393 on February 26, two days before the start of the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. The benchmark is up 26 percent so far this year.

Boursa Kuwait extended trading hours by 30 minutes from October last year to drive market participation and liquidity.

In December, Egyptian Stock Exchange chairman Islam Azzam said more than half of the companies listed on the bourse supported a proposed extension of trading hours.

About 54 percent of the listed companies approved adding an hour, extending the Egyptian trading session from 9:30am to 3pm, versus the current 10am to 2:30pm.

Pictures Key Facts “One Battle After Another” boasts a nearly perfect 97 out of a possible 100 on Metacritic based on its first 31 reviews, making it the highest-rated movie of this decade on Metacritic’s best movies of all time list. The movie also has a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes based on the first 56 reviews, with only two reviews considered “rotten,” or negative. The Associated Press hailed the movie as “an American masterpiece,” noting the movie touches on topical political themes and depicts a society where “gun violence, white power and immigrant deportations recur in an ongoing dance, both farcical and tragic.” The movie stars DiCaprio as an ex-revolutionary who reunites with former accomplices to rescue his 16-year-old daughter when she goes missing, and Anderson has said the movie was inspired by the 1990 novel, “Vineland.” Most critics have described the movie as an action thriller with notable chase scenes, which jumps in time from DiCaprio’s character’s early days with fictional revolutionary group, the French 75, to about 15 years later, when he is pursued by foe and military leader Captain Steven Lockjaw, played by Sean Penn. The Warner Bros.-produced film was made on a big budget, estimated to be between $130 million and $175 million, and co-stars Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall and Teyana Taylor.
