Trading in the stock market successfully means keeping up with a truckload of pertinent data and information. Stock trading hours may seem like a small part of that, but you’d be surprised just how many stock traders aren’t exactly sure when they open – or how many don’t think it matters either way.
The truth is, when a stock exchange opens does matter, especially if you are a day trader and need to time your trades. Here is a list of opening and closing times for all the major stock exchanges in the global market today.

Remember that as you go west, markets open later. The London Stock Exchange, for example, opens 6.5 hours earlier than the NYSE. Because of this time difference, what goes on in Asian markets – for good or bad – often affects European markets, which impacts American markets during the course of a calendar day.
