US stock closing dates in 2023 and opening dates in 2024
The closing date for U.S. stocks is Friday, December 29, 2023. Therefore, if you are selling with capital gains tax in mind, you can sell within 3 business days.
If you sell it by December 26th, it will be recorded as profit in 2023, and if you sell it after that, it will be recorded as capital gain in 2024.
In addition, the stock market will open on January 2, 2024, similar to the Korean stock market.

2024 US stock daylight saving time period and time
Overseas, clocks are set one hour ahead of standard time in the summer. That’s because the sun rises early, so you wake up early to start your day.
Therefore, in most cases in the United States, daylight saving time is applied, and it can be considered daylight saving time for more than half the year.
Daylight Savings Time 2024
From March 10, 2024 to November 3, 2024
During this period, the stock market is advanced by one hour.
US time (daylight saving time)
Free Market: 03:00 – 08:30
Regular market: 08:30 – 15:00
Aftermarket: 15:00 – 17:30
Korean time (summer time)
Free Market: 17:00 – 22:30
Regular market: 22:30 – 05:00
Aftermarket: 05:00 – 07:30
On the other hand, I personally think that if daylight saving time is going to be applied for such a long period of time, why not apply daylight saving time overall?
Today, we learned about the overseas U.S. stock closing dates in 2023, the upcoming U.S. stock opening and closing dates in 2024, and the daylight saving time period.
