[U.S. Stock Market Average Daily Trading Volume in January Surpasses $1 Trillion] Odaily Planet Daily News – The U.S. stock market has reached a new high in capital flow, with the average daily trading volume in January surpassing $1 trillion. The surge in trading volume is becoming the new norm, marking a significant increase compared to the same period last year. Compiled data shows that the average daily trading volume in January hit a record $1.03 trillion, up approximately 50% compared to the same period in 2025. The daily traded shares reached about 19 billion, the second-highest in history. As U.S. stocks hover near historical highs, trading activity among retail investors and institutional funds has risen simultaneously. However, amid concerns over high valuations, the continuous inflow of capital also exposes participants to higher risks. Analyst Jackson Gutenplan stated that trading activity among retail investors, market makers, quantitative trading firms, and hedge funds is increasing, with the prevalence of automated trading reaching unprecedented levels. Data shows that over the past 13 months, the average daily traded shares exceeded 15 billion every month, a phenomenon that had only occurred three times before 2025. (Jin10)
