Daylight saving time - Impact on markets

[CharlotteIG 91]

Hey everyone, 

As you're aware UK and European clocks went back one hour when daylight saving time (DST) ended on Sunday 27 October. From that date until Sunday 3 November, the end of US DST, there are a number of changes to our opening hours:

•  US and Canadian markets will trade one hour earlier in UK time. For example, US and Canadian shares will be quoted between 1.30pm and 8pm 
•  All forex markets opened at 9pm on Sunday 27 October and will close at 9pm on Friday 1 November  
•  24-hour dealing on indices will opened at 10pm on Sunday 27 October and close at 9pm on Friday 1 November  
•  US shares (all sessions) will run from 8am to midnight Monday to Thursday, and from 8am to 9pm on Friday 1 November 
•  In-hours trading on Eurex futures (including the Germany 30) will be available one hour earlier at 12:10am
•  Expiring US markets will be settling an hour earlier than usual
•  New York Cocoa, Sugar and Coffee, and London Sugar all close an hour earlier than normal
•  Weekend trading on indices will open at the same time (4am Saturday), but will close one hour earlier (9.40pm Sunday) 
 

The dealing desk will also close early at 9pm on Friday 1 November.

From Sunday 3 November, the above will revert to their usual hours.
