Time zones

Zurich is usually 6 hours ahead of New York and 7 hours ahead of Chicago. From 25 Oct to 1 Nov 2026 the gap is one hour smaller, because Europe ends daylight saving a week before the US. Both changes are applied to the dates above.

Not shown: grains, livestock, FX, crypto and settlement times. See the CME page and the CME Thanksgiving 2026 settlement notice.

Questions

Is CME Globex open on Thanksgiving 2026?
Partly. On Thu 26 Nov 2026 CME lists equity index and interest rate futures halting at 12:00 CT and energy and metals at 13:30 CT, with all four reopening at 17:00 CT for the Friday trade date. On Fri 27 Nov equity index and interest rates close early at 12:15 CT, energy and metals at 13:45 CT.
Is CME open on Christmas Day 2026?
No. CME lists Fri 25 Dec 2026 as closed for these product groups. On Thu 24 Dec equity index and interest rates close early at 12:15 CT, energy and metals at 12:45 CT.
Why show Zurich and UTC?
CME publishes holiday times in Central Time. This page converts them with the time zone database, so US and European daylight saving dates are applied to each date.
