Shift to wintertime 2025 — trading schedule changes
From 26 October to 2 November 2025, the trading schedule for certain instruments will be adjusted due to the transition to wintertime in Europe and the U.S.
In Europe, the seasonal time change occurs on the last Sunday of October, when clocks are moved one hour backwards from 3:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.
The United States will make the same adjustment a week later, on 2 November 2025.
Therefore, from Sunday, 26 October, many instruments may follow a different schedule due to the temporary time difference between Europe and the U.S.
On 2 November 2025, when the U.S. also returns to wintertime, the trading schedule will fully return to normal, with all markets operating at their regular hours.
Please consider these adjusted times (EET, server time) when planning your trading activity during this transition period.
