1. Essential for Taiwanese Investors: US Stock Market Non-Open Time Comparison Chart
For Taiwanese investors, the most critical point is to understand the exact times when the US stock market is closed. Due to the US switching between Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time, Taiwan does not adjust its time, so extra attention is needed for time difference changes.
US Stock Trading Hours and Corresponding Taiwan Local Time:
The US Daylight Saving Time 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 begins at 2:00 AM on the first Sunday in November and ends at 2:00 AM on the second Sunday in March of the following year. Different states may have variations due to local regulations.
2. US Stock Trading Rules and Exchange Introduction
The US securities market consists of multiple independently operated exchanges. Opening, closing times, and prices may vary slightly between exchanges, but most operate synchronously.
Main Exchanges and Features:
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
Based on total market capitalization, NYSE is the world’s largest stock exchange, listing over 3,500 stocks. Trading is primarily electronic, but floor trading still plays an important role in large institutional transactions.
NASDAQ Stock Market (NASDAQ)
As the world’s first electronic securities market, NASDAQ uses fully electronic trading, with investors trading directly via phone or internet. It is known for listing high-tech companies like Microsoft, Apple, and other industry giants.
American Stock Exchange (AMEX / NYSE American)
As the third-largest US trading market, AMEX mainly lists small- and mid-cap stocks and is the only exchange that trades stocks, futures, and derivatives markets simultaneously. After merging with NYSE in 2008, it is now called NYSE American.
