1. U.S. Stock Market Trading Hours and Trading Rules
There are multiple stock exchanges in the United States, with the major ones being the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, and the American Stock Exchange. Each exchange operates independently, so there may be slight differences in opening and closing times and prices. However, in most cases, the trading hours of all exchanges are synchronized.
Below is the trading hours schedule for major stock markets in the United States. All times are displayed in Eastern Standard Time.
Rules of the US Stock Market:
Main stock exchange:
Trading Currency: US Dollar (USD) Trading unit: 1 share Settlement Date: T+3 Fees: In-person transactions 1%, electronic transactions 0.5%-1%
2. Correspondence of U.S. Stock Market Trading Hours and Japan Time
In the United States, there are adjustments for daylight saving time and standard time, but in Asia, no adjustments are made. Therefore, Asian investors need to pay attention to the changes in daylight saving time and standard time and adjust the time difference accordingly.
Daylight saving time in the United States begins on the second Sunday in March at 2:00 AM and ends on the first Sunday in November at 2:00 AM. Clocks are set forward by one hour at the start of daylight saving time. Winter time starts at 2:00 AM on the first Sunday of November and ends at 2:00 AM on the second Sunday of March the following year. When winter time begins, the clocks are set back one hour.
However, the implementation of daylight saving time needs to be specifically considered based on the regulations of each state.
The following summarizes the trading hours of the US stock market during Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time, along with the corresponding Japan time:
| Trading Hours (Eastern Time) | Japan Time (Daylight Saving) | Japan Time (Standard) | |----------------------|-----------------|-----------------| | 9:30~16:00 (Regular Trading) | 22:30~5:00 | 23:30~6:00 | | 4:00~9:30 (Morning Session) | 17:00~22:30 | 18:00~23:30 | | 16:00~20:00 (Afternoon Session) | 5:00~9:00 | 6:00~10:00 |
3. U.S. Stock Market Holidays
Stock exchanges may close or make arrangements for early closure on legal holidays. The United States is no exception, and special attention is required for particularly important holidays. Investors need to pay close attention to the holiday schedule of the stock market to avoid unnecessary losses.
The following is a list of "Major Holidays in the US for 2025". The US stock market will be closed on these days:
4. Major Stock Exchanges in the United States
If you want to trade U.S. stocks, you first need to understand the major exchanges in the U.S. The U.S. stock market differs from the Japanese stock market, as there are several major stock exchanges. Each exchange operates independently, so there may be slight differences in opening and closing times and prices. The three major exchanges in the U.S. are as follows.
1. New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
Based on the market capitalization of listed securities, the NYSE is considered the largest stock exchange in the world, with more than 3,500 listed companies. Currently, the main trading methods are electronic, but floor trading still plays an important role, used for price setting and processing trades for large institutional investors.
2. NASDAQ Stock Exchange
The difference from the NYSE is that it is a fully electronic exchange and not a physical exchange. It is also the world's first electronic securities trading market, where investors primarily conduct direct transactions via telephone and the internet. The stocks listed on NASDAQ are mainly high-tech companies like Microsoft and Apple.
3. American Stock Exchange (AMEX)
The American Stock Exchange is the third trading market in the United States, with a trading model almost identical to that of the NYSE. Its characteristic is that it primarily lists small and mid-cap stocks. Additionally, it is the only exchange that allows simultaneous trading in stocks, futures, and derivatives markets. After merging with the NYSE in 2008, it is now known as NYSE American.
