NYSE TRADING HOURS · BEIJING TIME
U.S. stock market hours in Beijing time (daylight vs standard time)
Direct answer: the regular session runs 09:30–16:00 Eastern — 21:30–04:00 (next day) Beijing time during U.S. daylight time and 22:30–05:00 (next day) during standard time (closes on the next Beijing day). Pre-market, after-hours and early closes are in the table below. Next switch: Sun, Nov 1, 2026, when the U.S. returns to standard time and Beijing times move one hour later — the regular session becomes 22:30–05:00 (next day).
Sessions in Beijing time
Beijing = Eastern +12 / +13 hours
| Session | Eastern | Beijing (daylight) | Beijing (standard) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-market | 04:00–09:30 | 16:00–21:30 | 17:00–22:30 |
| Regular session | 09:30–16:00 | 21:30–04:00 (next day) | 22:30–05:00 (next day) |
| After-hours | 16:00–20:00 | 04:00–08:00 (next day) | 05:00–09:00 (next day) |
| Regular session on early-close days | 09:30–13:00 | 21:30–01:00 (next day) | 22:30–02:00 (next day) |
Eastern time governs. U.S. switches happen on Sunday mornings, so no trading day ever straddles both regimes.
