Admirals clarified that the Forex market opening on Monday, March 9, at 00:05 Eastern European Time (EET, GMT+2) will remain unchanged. However, on Fridays — March 13, 20, and 27 — the trading session will close at 22:59 EET.
Instruments affected by the changes
In addition to the Forex market, the adjustments will affect CFDs on metals and US market instruments, including stocks, indices, commodities, agricultural products, and US Treasury bonds. On Mondays, March 9, 16, and 23, the opening times for these instruments will be shifted one hour earlier.
The changes will also impact overnight trading of CFDs on the Germany 40, FTSE100, and ASX200 indices. All times mentioned are in Eastern European Time, which corresponds to the time zone used by the MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms.
Admirals noted that trading hours may be further adjusted by exchanges or liquidity providers, which could also affect applicable conditions at the close of trades.

Why it matters: The impact of seasonal time changes on trading
The time difference between the US and Europe from March 8 to March 29, 2026, creates a temporary shift in trading sessions. For market participants, this means taking into account the revised Friday closing time of 22:59 EET on March 13, 20, and 27, as well as the adjusted Monday opening times for several CFD instruments.
Failure to consider these adjustments may result in position management errors, particularly during periods of heightened volatility. Daylight saving transitions traditionally affect liquidity and trading activity, making it important for market participants to adapt their strategies and trading plans accordingly.
