Trading Schedule Update Following US Daylight Saving Time – March 8, 2026

Please be aware that the beginning of Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the United States on March 8, 2026, may result in adjusted trading hours for selected financial instruments. These schedule changes can affect the opening and closing times of major indices, commodities, and forex pairs. Daylight Saving Time moves US clocks forward by one hour, affecting financial markets that follow US time zones, including the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), NASDAQ, and major futures markets. Consequently, instruments connected to these markets may open or close at different times depending on your local time zone. Traders should review their trading schedules carefully, as changes in market hours can influence liquidity, order execution, and the timing of trading strategies. Instruments commonly affected may include:

• Major Indices: S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, Dow Jones
• Commodities: Gold, Silver, Crude Oil
• Forex Pairs: EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD

SPXTeam recommends confirming the latest trading hours for your specific instruments with your broker before placing trades. Keeping track of schedule adjustments can help you plan trading activity more effectively, reduce unexpected disruptions, and manage market risk throughout the DST transition.
