BSE operates Monday through Friday, opening at 10:00 and closing at 17:00 local time (Europe/Sofia).
For investors in Tokyo, this means the BSE market opens at approximately 19:00 Japan Standard Time and closes around 02:00 Japan Standard Time.
The regular trading session is the most important period, but pre-market and after-hours sessions also provide opportunities for traders who need to react to news outside regular hours.
