Shares of companies within the broader financial sector are trading lower amid economic worries driven by tariffs and trade policies. Investors may be expecting a decline in investment and consumer spending, which may also be weighing on the industry.

On Friday, Nasdaq Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NDAQ#NASDAQ">NDAQ</a>) President&nbsp;Tal Cohen shared plans to enable <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/day-trading" rel="noreferrer noopener">24-hour trading</a> on its equities exchange in a LinkedIn <a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7303761150653939713/" rel="noreferrer noopener">post</a>.
The U.S. exchange operator plans to start round-the-clock trading in the second half of 2026, pending regulatory approval to tap retail investors&#8217; surging interest in U.S. markets in different time zones.
&#8220;Over 56 exchange traded products have launched in the last five years tracking the Nasdaq-100 Index, and 98% of these products were introduced outside of the United States,&#8221; Cohen wrote.

Nevertheless, Cohen also highlighted <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-07/nasdaq-joins-exchanges-seeking-to-offer-round-the-clock-trading?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">to</a> Bloomberg the risks associated with increased volatility and higher transaction costs due to the expanded trading hours.
He added that despite the increase in overnight trading, liquidity is still &#8220;significantly lower&#8221; during those hours.
Cohen&#8217;s ambitions also depend on an update to the securities information processor (SIP), which displays the best bid and offer price of a stock on an exchange and needs to be updated to accommodate the extra hours.
Nasdaq will work with other industry participants to mitigate these concerns and risks by forming a group to do so, a spokesperson told Bloomberg.
In January, Cboe Global Markets, Inc. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43472768/cboe-global-markets-announces-plans-for-24-hour-stock-trading" rel="noreferrer noopener">shared plans to</a> extend trading on its equities exchange to 24 hours, five days a week, pending regulatory approval.
In October, the New York Stock Exchange applied to offer trading 22 hours on weekdays.
Robinhood Markets Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) and Interactive Brokers Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBKR#NASDAQ">IBKR</a>) already help customers transact U.S. stocks 24 hours a day, five days a week.
In November 2024, U.S. regulators <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42238117/sec-approves-americas-first-24-hour-stock-exchange-what-it-means-for-you" rel="noreferrer noopener">approved the nation&#8217;s</a> first 24-hour stock exchange to&nbsp;24 Exchange, backed by&nbsp;Steve Cohen&#8217;s&nbsp;Point72 Ventures.
Price Action: NDAQ stock is up 0.39% at $76.47 at last check Friday.

Mark Cuban extended his support to President Donald Trump&#8216;s new &#8216;Gold Card&#8217; scheme to obtain U.S. citizenship if these cards were sold to corporations who hire immigrants. Billionaire entrepreneur and Dallas Mavericks owner added that the &#8220;H1b Visa game is ridiculous.&#8221;
What Happened: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43985233/mark-cuban-calls-deductibles-the-biggest-problem-in-healthcare-system-needs-to-be-redesigned">Cuban</a> proposed a new way for high-skilled workers to obtain U.S. citizenship in his latest X post.
Agreeing with President Trump on generating revenue via handing over citizenships, Cuban added that corporations could pay $5 million for an employee earning over $500,000 per year to get immediate citizenship, provided they pass a thorough background check.
Cuban argues that if a person is highly valuable to a company, the company should be willing to pay for the right to employ them in the U.S. He further suggests that if companies are not going to hire American workers, they should at least contribute to the tax base for the privilege of hiring foreign talent.
The billionaire investor also believes the current H-1B visa system, which uses a lottery and has caps, is &#8220;broken.&#8221;

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">I ACTUALLY LIKE THIS IDEA IF WE SELL THEM TO CORPORATIONS. The H1b Visa game is ridiculous. Go to companies and tell them, $5m for any employee making over 500k, and they get immediate citizenship if they pass an advanced background check. Without citizenship , and only 3… <a href="https://t.co/O0xlSUVrBW">https://t.co/O0xlSUVrBW</a>

This comes after Trump addressed the amount of revenue that could be generated via selling &#8216;Gold Cards&#8217; during a press conference. He said, &#8220;If we sell a million &#8211; that&#8217;s $5 trillion… if we sell 10 million, that&#8217;s $50 trillion. That means our debt is totally paid off, and we have $15 trillion above that.&#8221;

Why It Matters: As the President and corporate tycoons agree to generate revenue via this route, a 2024 report by the American Immigration Council highlighted that immigrant entrepreneurs make up 22.6% of all entrepreneurs nationwide.
According to the study, from the New American companies that made the 2024 Fortune 500 list, 46%, or 230 companies, were founded by immigrants or their children and each company employs about 67,332 workers.
Here are the names of a few listed entities that are new entrants in the Fortune 500 list, hiring and led by immigrants.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
