    Our Commitment to Accuracy

    All trading hours, holiday schedules, and early close dates on Global Market Hours are sourced directly from official exchange websites and regulatory authority calendars.

    We verify and update our data quarterly, and monitor exchanges for schedule changes throughout the year. Each exchange page displays:

    • Direct links to official sources
    • Last verification date
    • Data freshness indicator

    Important: While we strive for accuracy, schedules can change without notice. Always verify critical information with official exchange sources before making trading decisions.
