How this timer counts
This is not a holiday date. It is the next weekday bell, the query people type. “nyse open time” and “what time does nyse open” are this same the NYSE open bell morning.
Countdown to the next NYSE open
The close is 4:00 p.m. Eastern. Early-close days are not modeled here; the clock still uses 9:30 on a full session day.
| Exchange | Open (local) | Close |
|---|---|---|
| NYSE / Nasdaq | 9:30 a.m. ET | 4:00 p.m. ET |
| LSE | 8:00 a.m. | 4:30 p.m. |
| TSE | 9:00 a.m. | 3:00 p.m. |
