FAQ

Common questions about market hours.

Is the US stock market open today?

The live answer is shown at the top of this page and refreshes every 15 seconds. As a rule, the US stock market is open Monday to Friday from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time, and closed on weekends and US market holidays such as New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

What time does the US stock market open and close?

Regular trading runs 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time. Pre-market trading typically runs from 4:00 AM ET and post-market until 8:00 PM ET. These times shift with US daylight saving, which this page accounts for automatically.

Is the stock market open on weekends?

No. US and other national equity markets are closed on Saturday and Sunday. Foreign exchange reopens Sunday 21:00 UTC, and cryptocurrency trades 24/7 including weekends and holidays.

How accurate is the 'open / closed' status?

Status is computed from each country's official trading calendar, including daylight saving shifts, lunch breaks for Asian markets, and published half-days. The page refreshes from the same data feed every 15 seconds.

Which markets are covered?

Twenty-three: United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Türkiye, Japan, Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Taiwan, India, Singapore, Australia, plus continuous forex and crypto.

Why does forex show 'open' on Sunday evening?

Forex trades from Sunday 21:00 UTC through Friday 21:00 UTC. Sunday evening in UTC is already inside the trading window. Absolute timestamps render in UTC alongside the local venue time so there is no ambiguity.

Are lunch breaks accounted for?

Yes. Asia-Pacific markets with split sessions (Hong Kong, Japan, China, Taiwan, Singapore) report 'closed' during the mid-day break and 'open' during both halves of the session.

Do you handle daylight saving time?

Yes. The weekly schedule shown on each market's detail page is in local venue time and is daylight-saving naïve (the venue's clock doesn't shift). All absolute transitions are UTC and daylight-saving correct year-round.

Is there a market hours API?

Yes. One call to the market hours API returns the same open or closed status, next open and close, weekly schedule, and holiday calendar shown on this page, for any of the 23 covered markets. The market hours, status, and calendar endpoints are available on every plan, including the free tier, at no extra cost.
