Read di last column first. Singapore dey 12 hours ahead of New York for dis window, and di opening bell dey land there at 21:30 local with di closing bell at 04:00 di following morning. Tokyo dey run one hour further ahead again at 13. London, 5 hours ahead, e get di friendliest conversion of di ten: di US open at 14:30 dey leave a full London afternoon alongside New York's morning, and di US close at 21:00 dey arrive before midnight.

Di extended windows dey stretch di same day considerably. A Sydney reader wey dey follow di whole electronic session, e go watch am begin at 18:00 for di evening and end at 10:00 di next morning, sixteen hours wey dey straddle local midnight. For Los Angeles, three hours behind New York, di whole regular session dey fit inside a local working day at 06:30 to 13:00.

Which session you dey convert?

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

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

Di regular session na wetin index levels, di closing price for your statement, and di evening news all dey describe. Di two extended windows dey thinner, dem carry wider bid-ask spreads, and dem usually be limit-order only for retail brokers. Premarket and after-hours trading dey measure those differences for di tape. For every boundary wey dem state plainly for Eastern Time, see stock market hours.

Daylight saving dey move half of di conversions

Time zone conversions for di US market no dey stable across di year, and di instability na one sided. United States dey observe daylight saving from di second Sunday for March to di first Sunday for November, wey for 2026 mean March 8 through November 1. Plenty part of Asia no dey observe am at all. Europe dey observe im own, for im own dates. Three patterns dey fall out of dat mix.

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

Di last column na di size of di annual swing. London and Frankfurt dey read 0: dia January and July conversions na di same. Tokyo dey read 1, di opening bell dey move from 23:30 for January to 22:30 for July. Sydney dey read 2, di widest swing of di six, with di bell at 01:30 di following morning for January against 23:30 di same evening for July.

Di weeks when Europe and di US no gree

United Kingdom and European Union dey change clocks on di last Sunday for March and di last Sunday for October. United States dey change on di second Sunday for March and di first Sunday for November. Two mismatch windows dey open every year. For 2026 dem dey run March 8 to March 29, when New York dey keep daylight time and London no dey, and October 25 to November 1, when London don already move back and New York never. Inside both windows di London reading of di 9:30 a.m. bell dey sit at 13:30 instead of 14:30, and every US session boundary dey arrive one hour earlier than a London reader dey expect. Calendar entries and price alerts wey dem set months in advance dey drift by dat hour two times per year.

Overlap with your local exchange

Local exchange hours and US hours dey overlap only for some places. London Stock Exchange dey run 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. local, and im final two hours dey sit alongside di first two hours of New York's regular session for July 2026. Tokyo Stock Exchange dey run 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. local with a lunch break, entirely inside di US overnight. A reader for Singapore or Tokyo wey want di US regular session dey live with a late night, an early morning, or an order wey dem leave resting.

An order wey dem place while di US market dey shut no dey simply wait quietly. A market order wey dem enter overnight dey queue for di next opening auction, and di price e go meet na di crowd wey arrive at 9:30 a.m. ET set am, no be di last after-hours print. Mutual fund orders dey behave different again: dem dey execute once a day at di net asset value wey dem strike after di 4:00 p.m. close, whatever local hour you send dem for, as when mutual funds trade dey walk through.

Di days wey di conversion no apply

US exchanges dey close for weekends, for roughly ten full holidays per year, and early at 1:00 p.m. ET for a handful of scheduled half days. For a half day every boundary for di first panel dey move three hours earlier, and after-hours trading dey wrap around 5:00 p.m. ET instead of 8:00 p.m. Holidays for other places no get effect for di US calendar: a US-listed stock dey trade for Boxing Day and through Golden Week, and e stand still for Thanksgiving. Market holidays and early closes dey carry di dated calendar.
