The Hidden Market Impact of Clock Changes: Trading Hours Adjustments 

As Europe and North America exited Daylight Saving Time over the past two weeks, global markets entered one of the most operationally complex periods of the year. What might appear to be a simple administrative shift triggers major adjustments across the trading landscape – influencing trading hours from Brazil to India.  

Clock changes reshape trading overlaps, liquidity patterns, and cross-market correlations. Many exchanges respond by realigning opening and closing times to accommodate new time gaps. 

Time accuracy provides a strategic edge. That’s why at Swaps Monitor, we make it effortless to stay ahead of every adjustment. We provide precise, real-time visibility into every DST change and every exchange trading window – down to the second
