Daylight Saving Time Ends: US Stock Market Opens at 22:30 Beijing Time – Key Changes for Investors

Daylight Saving Time Ends: Financial Markets Adjust Trading Hours

November marks the annual shift back to standard time in North America. At 2:00 AM local time on November 1 (2:00 PM Beijing Time), clocks were set back one hour, officially ending daylight saving time. This change resets the schedule for financial markets worldwide.

Key Adjustments to Trading Schedules

With the shift to standard time, all trading sessions and economic data releases in U.S. and Canadian financial markets will occur one hour later compared to the summer schedule. Investors across Asia need to take note of these updated timings.

Updated Market Opening Hours

• US Stock Market: Starting Monday, November 2, regular trading opens at 22:30 Beijing Time.
• International Gold & Silver: Precious metals trading begins at 7:00 Beijing Time.
• US Crude Oil (WTI): Trading on NYMEX also opens at 7:00 Beijing Time.

While this is a routine annual adjustment, investors engaged in cross-time-zone trading—particularly those focusing on US equities, forex, or commodities—should update their calendars and trading platforms. Verifying that your systems reflect the new hours can help avoid missed openings or key economic announcements.
