Live stock market hours — which exchanges are open right now, in your local time
Our free world market times tool shows the real-time open/closed status of the 12 major global stock market trading hours — including NYSE, NASDAQ, London, Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Frankfurt, Sydney, Toronto, Mumbai, Singapore and São Paulo. Every card shows a live countdown to open or close in your local time. The interactive map pins each exchange on its real-world location with day/night shading. Find out which markets are open right now and plan your trading day.
Bars show each exchange's hours in UTC — overlapping bars = highest-volume periods. Blue line = current UTC time.
⚡ London–New York overlap (~13:30–16:30 UTC) is the most liquid period globally. Tokyo–London (~07:00–09:00 UTC) is the Asian/European crossover.

The live status cards and map at the top of this page show which markets are open right now, updating every second based on your device's clock and each exchange's official trading hours. Green = open, amber = pre-market, grey = closed.
NYSE and NASDAQ open at 09:30 and close at 16:00 Eastern Time (ET), Monday–Friday. Pre-market runs 04:00–09:30 and after-hours 16:00–20:00 ET. The countdown card above shows the exact time until open or close in your local time.
The LSE opens at 08:00 and closes at 16:30 GMT/BST, Monday–Friday. It opens 1.5 hours before NYSE, meaning there's a period where only the European session is active before New York joins.
~13:30–16:30 UTC. This is the highest-volume, most liquid window in global markets. Both major Western exchanges are simultaneously open, creating peak trading activity and tightest spreads for EUR/USD, GBP/USD and related instruments.
TSE trades 09:00–15:30 JST (UTC+9), Monday–Friday, with a lunch break 11:30–12:30. JST does not observe daylight saving time, so the UTC offset is constant year-round.
The map shows a real-time day/night overlay based on the current position of the Sun. The bright yellow glow marks the subsolar point (directly under the Sun), the glowing cyan line is the terminator (sunrise/sunset boundary), and the dark region is currently in night. This updates live every frame.
The Dubai Financial Market follows the Islamic working week (Sunday–Thursday). Friday and Saturday are the weekend in the UAE. This means DFM is open when Western markets are closed on Sundays, and closed while Western markets trade on Fridays.
