Australian Eastern TimeTimes assume the exchanges’ regular sessions and are converted from exchange local time to Australian Eastern Time; holidays and early closes can remove the overlap on a given day.

| LSE | 19:00 | 03:30 |
| NASDAQ | 20:30 | 03:00 |
How the LSE–NASDAQ overlap is calculated
The overlap is the intersection of each exchange’s regular trading session after converting both to Australian Eastern Time. In this timezone, LSE runs 19:00–03:30 and NASDAQ runs 20:30–03:00, so both are open together from 01:30 to 03:30 — 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.
