The US30, also known as the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), is a stock market index representing 30 prominent companies listed on stock exchanges in the United States, providing a broad indication of the performance of the industrial sector of the American economy.
Trading hours for the US30 generally follow the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) hours, opening at 9:30 AM and closing at 4:00 PM Eastern Time (ET) on regular trading days, with pre-market and after-hours sessions extending trading opportunities. The index is calculated based on the stock prices of its constituent companies, making it a significant indicator for investors to gauge market sentiment and economic trends.

Futures and CFDs Trading Hours:
- Sunday Evening to Friday: Futures and CFDs on the US30 can be traded nearly 24 hours from Sunday evening to Friday. They adhere to global trading hours, starting Sunday evening when Asian markets open (still Sunday in GMT) and continuing until Friday evening when US markets close (late Friday or early Saturday in GMT).
Given the 24-hour nature of futures and CFD trading, specific start and end times on Sunday and Friday might vary slightly depending on the trading platform and market conditions. Since these markets operate globally, they effectively begin trading on Sunday evening with the opening of Asian markets, which is still considered Sunday in GMT. They conclude on Friday evening with the closing of US markets, translating to late Friday or early Saturday in GMT.
