Questions people ask.
What time does the Nasdaq 100 open?
The US stock market opens at 09:30 and closes at 16:00 New York time, Monday to Friday. That is 14:30 in Lagos and 16:30 in Nairobi while New York is on daylight saving time, and one hour later in both cities when it is not. Index CFDs and futures trade almost 24 hours, from Sunday 18:00 to Friday 17:00 New York time.When does gold move the most?
In our data, gold's largest hourly moves come around 08:00 to 11:00 New York time, when US economic data is released and the US market opens, while London is still trading. The table above shows the exact pattern converted to your time zone.Do these hours change with daylight saving time?
Yes. New York, London and Sydney change their clocks on different dates, and most African and Asian countries do not change at all, so the local time of each session shifts during the year. This page computes every time from the official time-zone database, so the times shown are correct for today's date.Is the busiest hour the best hour to trade?
Not necessarily. Bigger moves mean bigger opportunities and bigger losses, and spreads can widen around news. The heat map shows how much markets usually move, not which direction, and it is not a trading signal.Public holidays are not shown. Data: hourly-volatility.json (free to cite with a link).
