Early Close Time in Pacific Time
On early close days, markets close at 1:00 p.m. ET instead of 4:00 p.m. ET. In PT, that's 10:00 AM. Early closes occur on Black Friday, Christmas Eve, and the day before Independence Day.
Daylight Saving Time Impact
Pacific Time observes daylight saving time. In winter (PST, UTC-8), the market opens at 6:30 a.m. and closes at 1:00 p.m. In summer (PDT, UTC-7), times remain the same locally because the market schedule is anchored to Eastern Time. For traders in California, this means the market is already closed by early afternoon.
Next Market Holiday
The next scheduled market closure is Thanksgiving on November 26, 2026. See full holiday schedule →
