US Daylight Saving Time Ends, Shifting Wall Street Trading Hours for Global Traders

Effective Monday, November 2, 2026, the United States has ended daylight saving time, transitioning to Eastern Standard Time. This change means that while local exchange hours remain the same, Wall Street now opens at 14:30 GMT (2:30 PM UTC), an hour later for traders in Asia, Australia, and Europe. US economic data releases and futures sessions have also shifted accordingly, impacting global liquidity overlaps.
