A US trading day stack three window, and conversion dey useful only when e dey name which one e dey convert.

• Regular session, 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. The six and half hours wey the opening and closing bell dey bracket. Official opening and closing prices dey come from the auction wey dey for each end of am.
• Premarket, 4:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. ET. Electronic trading before the opening bell.
• After-hours, 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET. Electronic trading after the closing bell.

The regular session na wetin index levels, the closing price for your statement, and the evening news all dey talk about.

Premarket and after-hours trading dey measure those differences for the tape. For every boundary wey dey stated plainly for Eastern Time, see stock market hours.

Daylight saving dey move half the conversions

Time zone conversion for the US market no dey stable across the year, and the instability dey face one side.

Europe dey observe its own, on its own dates. Three pattern dey come out from that mix.

• Europe dey move with New York, most times. London and Frankfurt dey shift their clocks for the same direction, and their local reading of the 9:30 a.m. bell dey hold at 14:30 and 15:30 for most of the year.
• Asia no dey move, so the conversion dey move. Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong and Mumbai dey keep one clock year round. When New York dey spring forward, the local time of the US open dey step one hour earlier for each of them.
• Sydney dey move the opposite way. Australian eastern daylight time dey run during the southern summer, roughly October to April, the opposite half of the calendar from the US shift. The two changes dey stack instead of cancel.
