2026 Winter US Stock Market Opening Hours Complete Guide | Essential Trading Hours Schedule for Taiwanese Investors
Key Update: The United States switched to Standard Time at 2:00 AM on November 2, 2025. Regular trading hours in Taiwan are from 22:30 (10:30 PM) to 5:00 AM the next day.
Quick Reference for the Three Major US Stock Trading Sessions
The US stock market is not a single exchange but consists of three main markets: the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, and the American Stock Exchange. Although each exchange operates independently, opening and closing times are generally synchronized.
Investors should pay attention to the trading sessions, which include:
Essential for Taiwanese Investors｜Standard Time Conversion Table
Since the US Standard Time shifts earlier than Asia, Taiwanese investors need to pay special attention to the time difference. During Standard Time (from the first Sunday in November 2:00 AM to the second Sunday in March 2:00 AM), the US stock market opening hours in Taiwan are:
Regular Trading: 22:30–5:00 the next day
This means that during Standard Time, Taiwanese workers can participate in US stock trading after work in the evening, making it a relatively convenient time.
Introduction to the Three Major Exchanges
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
The world’s largest stock exchange, listing over 3,500 stocks. Fully electronic now, but floor trading still plays an important role in large block trades, setting price benchmarks.
NASDAQ Stock Market
The world’s first all-electronic trading market, known for tech stocks (Microsoft, Apple, etc.). Investors trade directly via phone or internet, with ample liquidity and fast execution.
American Stock Exchange (AMEX / NYSE American)
The third-largest US trading market, mainly for small- and mid-cap stocks. Its unique advantage is offering stocks, futures, and derivatives trading simultaneously. After merging into NYSE in 2008, it was renamed NYSE American.
US Stock Market Holiday Schedule for 2026
Investors should plan ahead. The following dates mark market holidays or early closings:
