Frequently asked questions
What are Xetra trading hours?

What is the difference between Xetra and Boerse Frankfurt?
Xetra is the electronic order book where most German volume trades, 9:00 to 5:30. Boerse Frankfurt is the venue's floor-style retail market with longer hours, 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
When does Xetra overlap with US trading?
The US regular session opens at 3:30 p.m. Central European Time, so the two markets trade together for the last two hours of the Xetra day. During the spring and autumn clock-change weeks the overlap shifts by an hour.
