news

Dear traders,

We would like to hereby inform you that the daylight-saving time begins in the United States on Sunday, March 8, 2026, and so the time difference between the USA and the EU  countries, as well as the United Kingdom will be reduced by 1 hour.

The time of the MetaTrader 4 / MetaTrader 5 trading terminal will be changed by 1 from GMT+2 to GMT+3. The market will open at midnight on March 9. The trading session time of all European indices and stocks will be adjusted by 1 hour accordingly.

On Sunday, March 29, 2026, the daylight-saving time will take effect in Europe and the time difference between the EU and the USA will revert back to normal. This means that the trading session time in terms of European market assets will be moved backward 1 hour and will become standard again.

Please refer to the table below for more details:
