Information that affects prices can be separated into two categories: public and private information.Public information becomes known at the same time that it affects prices.However,private information only affects prices through trading.The production of both types of information is likely to be greater during trading periods.Furthermore,the benefits of producing private information are likely to be higher during trading hours,as the information can be acted on quickly and conveniently.However,there will still be some information (both public and private)produced over non-trading periods.When the market is closed,this information cannot be acted upon.
