Latest News About What Time Does The Stock Market Open

Updated 2026-05-05 16:06

Stock markets in the United States open at 9:30 AM Eastern Time on regular trading days (NYSE and Nasdaq). If you’re asking about today specifically, that is the standard opening time unless there’s a holiday or market closure noted by the exchanges. For completeness, premarket activity typically begins as early as 4:00 AM ET and after-hours trading runs from 4:00 PM to around 8:00 PM ET. If you want, I can check for today’s calendar (holiday or early opening) and confirm any exceptions.[2][3][4][5]
