Overview of Global Major Stock Market Trading Hours: Focus on Gate Trading Platform

In today's globalized financial market, understanding the trading hours of major stock markets is crucial. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the opening and closing times of US stocks and other major global stock markets, with a focus on the advantages of the Gate trading platform in this field.

Trading Rules and Hours of the US Stock Market

The United States has several stock exchanges, the most famous of which include the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, and the American Stock Exchange. Although each exchange operates independently, their trading hours are usually synchronized.

The following is the opening and closing schedule of major US stock markets (Eastern Time):

US Stock Market Rules | Trading Hours (Eastern Standard Time) --- | --- Regular Trading Hours | Monday to Friday 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM Pre-market trading hours | Monday to Friday 4:00 - 9:30 After-hours trading hours | Monday to Friday 16:00 - 20:00

It is worth noting that the Gate platform provides global investors with convenient U.S. stock trading services, allowing investors to easily participate in these trading sessions.

Correspondence Between US Stock Trading Hours and China Time

Due to the implementation of Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time in the United States, while Asian countries typically do not adjust their time, Asian investors need to pay extra attention to the changes in time differences. Daylight Saving Time in the United States generally starts at 2 AM on the second Sunday in March and ends at 2 AM on the first Sunday in November.

Below is the schedule of US stock trading hours corresponding to Chinese time:

US Stock Trading Hours | China Time (DST) | China Time (Standard) --- | --- | --- Regular Trading (:30~16:00 ) | 21:30~4:00 | 22:30~5:00 Pre-market trading ( 4:00~9:30 ) | 16:30~21:30 | 17:00~22:30 After-hours trading ( 16:00~20:00 ) | 4:00~8:00 | 5:00~9:00
