Overlap window in Dubai
18:30–20:30
Dubai TimeTimes assume the exchanges’ regular sessions and are converted from exchange local time to Dubai Time; holidays and early closes can remove the overlap on a given day.
| Market | Open (Dubai Time) | Close (Dubai Time) |
|---|---|---|
| LSE | 12:00 | 20:30 |
| NASDAQ | 13:30 | 20:00 |
How the LSE–NASDAQ overlap is calculated
The overlap is the intersection of each exchange’s regular trading session after converting both to Dubai Time. In this timezone, LSE runs 12:00–20:30 and NASDAQ runs 13:30–20:00, so both are open together from 18:30 to 20:30 — 2h 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.
