Comprehensive Guide to International Stock Market Trading Hours 2022
U.S. Stock Market in the Global Context
When it comes to the world’s financial centers, the U.S. stock market holds an undeniable leading position. With a market capitalization of approximately $30.44 trillion, it accounts for nearly half of the total global market value. This figure is more than five times larger than China’s market (6.32 trillion USD) and significantly exceeds the Vietnamese stock market.
Currently, the U.S. has nearly 20 active exchanges, but the three largest still dominate the market: New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Nasdaq, and American Stock Exchange (AMEX).
Introduction to the Top Three U.S. Stock Exchanges
NYSE - The Oldest and Largest in the World
NYSE is not only the oldest (with over 228 years of history), but also the hub for giant corporations. With a market cap of $30 trillion, it lists 2,400 stocks and major financial products, including indices representing the U.S. economy such as Dow Jones, S&P 500, and NYSE Composite.
Nasdaq - The Tech Company Hub
Nasdaq ranks second globally by market capitalization, with a total value of $10 trillion. This exchange is notable for listing 3,500 stocks and financial products, mainly focusing on technology and engineering sectors. Major names like Microsoft, Apple, Twitter, Amazon are listed here, along with many promising startups.
AMEX - The Playground for Small-Cap Companies
AMEX is the third-largest exchange by volume. It is also the birthplace of important derivative financial instruments, from Options (1975) to ETFs (1993). This exchange hosts around 8,000 products, mainly small-cap stocks and derivatives.

Important Notes for Vietnamese Traders
When participating in U.S. stock trading, pay attention to some issues:
Regarding trading hours: Not all brokers in Vietnam support pre-market and after-hours trading. This may limit your trading opportunities.
Regarding account types: Settlement times vary by account type. Cash accounts have T + 2, margin accounts typically have T + 1, and guaranteed accounts have T + 0.
Regarding seasonal adjustments: Remember that international stock trading hours will change when the U.S. switches to daylight saving time. Set reminders to avoid missing trading windows.
Support Tools for Monitoring
To avoid confusion about trading times across different exchanges, using an electronic calendar is the best approach. Many trading platforms offer real-time updated economic calendars, helping you stay informed about key events and manage trading hours efficiently.
