How the HKEX–SGX overlap is calculated

The overlap is the intersection of each exchange’s regular trading session after converting both to Dubai Time. In this timezone, HKEX runs 13:30–20:00 and SGX runs 13:00–21:00, so both are open together from 05:30 to 12:00 — 6h 30m of shared trading time.

Weekends are excluded, and any full-day holiday or early close on either side shrinks the window for that date. Use the two holiday calendars below before planning a session that relies on the overlap, and check the live open/closed status if you need the current figure rather than the scheduled one.
