US stock markets have been affected by the leap second :)
Here’s exactly how various markets are addressing the problem: Nasdaq
and NYSE Arca Equities have decided to close shop early.
Intercontinental Exchange ICE 0.63% and CME Group CME 0.81% have said
they’ll delay transactions. And at futures exchanges in countries like
Australia, Japan, and South Korea—where $3.7 billion is at stake at
the opening bell, according to Bloomberg — they will take the Google
approach and “smear” the extra time over a longer period of time. In
other words, they’ll cut the second into smaller bits and spread it
out across several hours. From ->
