Pros and cons of extending trading hours in a stock exchange?

Dear all,

I am a recent graduate from RMIT, I'm looking to apply for a analyst trader (coffee boy) position in Barclays in Singapore

I have to answer this question in their online application: Describe a recent development in the Investment Banking industry. What implications might this development have for the division to which you have applied?

I was thinking of talking about this topic. LSE / Singapore Exchange agreement extends trading hours.

I've read about pros and cons over extending trading hours. But before I send out my answer, I hope to hear some feedback from you guys. I'm afraid I might say something wrong.

Could you provide advice on maybe other topics I could include as well?

Ben
