When do the US stock markets open? A complete analysis of trading hours in 2025
What Time Do U.S. Stocks Open Now? Latest Update
As we enter March 2025, the United States has switched to Daylight Saving Time. The regular trading hours for U.S. stocks are now 21:30 Beijing Time to 4:00 the next day. Additionally, a noteworthy new development: the NYSE is promoting an extension of trading hours for the fully electronic exchange NYSE Arca, which could extend trading to up to 22 hours on each trading day once approved.
Detailed U.S. Stock Market Opening Hours
The U.S. stock market mainly consists of three major exchanges: the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, and the American Stock Exchange. Although they operate independently, their opening and closing times are generally synchronized. The following are the Eastern Time trading hours:

A Must-Read for Beijing Investors: Time Difference Table
Since the U.S. observes Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time, while Beijing remains fixed year-round, investors need to adjust seasonally. Daylight Saving Time in the U.S. begins at 2:00 AM on the second Sunday in March and ends at 2:00 AM on the first Sunday in November; Standard Time is the opposite.
Conversion of U.S. Stock Opening Hours to Beijing Time
Tip: Different states may implement Daylight Saving Time differently, so it’s best to double-check before trading.
U.S. Stock Market Holidays Schedule for 2025
U.S. markets are closed or close early on statutory holidays. Investors should mark these dates to avoid order issues.
What Are the Differences Among the Three Major U.S. Stock Exchanges?
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
The “big brother” of U.S. stocks. Founded in 1792 on Wall Street, it is currently the largest stock exchange in the world by total market capitalization of listed securities. While mainly electronic, floor trading remains important for pricing and large institutional transactions.
NASDAQ
The second-largest exchange globally and the world’s first fully electronic securities market. Investors trade directly via phone or internet without restrictions of a trading floor. It hosts giants like Microsoft and Apple, with the highest concentration of high-tech companies.
American Stock Exchange (AMEX)
The “old third” of U.S. stocks, with trading modes similar to NYSE. Its特色 is mainly trading small- and mid-cap stocks, and it is the only exchange that can trade stocks, futures, and derivatives simultaneously.
