US Daylight Saving Time update for 8-9 March 2026

Topics in article

At PrimeXBT, we always keep traders informed of schedule adjustments that may affect market activity.

From Sunday, 8 March to Monday, 9 March 2026, the United States will move clocks forward to Daylight Saving Time (DST). As a result, trading hours for selected US-linked instruments will temporarily shift.

These adjustments reflect the time difference between US markets and other regions before Europe transitions to Summer Time later in March.

To help you plan your trading activity, please review the updated schedule below.
