Why DST Matters for Traders

Daylight Saving Time shifts directly impact trading session overlaps, economic data release times, and market hours. When the US and EU are on different DST schedules (typically 2–3 weeks in March/October), the London–New York overlap shifts by one hour, affecting forex liquidity and volatility patterns.

Key impacts include: shifted open/close times for NYSE, NASDAQ, and European exchanges; changed economic data release windows (e.g., US Non-Farm Payrolls); and altered forex session overlaps that concentrate or disperse liquidity. Futures and options expiration times also shift relative to UTC.

The dates on this page are computed algorithmically from timezone rules and update automatically each year. For the current year's exact transitions in your timezone, refer to the highlighted row in the overview table above.

DST transition dates are computed programmatically from IANA timezone rules and update automatically. Country observance data sourced from the IANA tz database and verified against official government publications. Last verified structure: 2026.
