About MOEX trading hours
The Moscow Exchange runs on Europe/Moscow, currently UTC+3. Its regular session is 09:50–18:50 in Moscow, 9 hours of continuous trading with no lunch break. The table above translates those hours into London and New York time so you can see exactly when the bell rings from wherever you follow the market.
Because the exchange keeps local time, its hours move when Moscow changes its clocks for daylight saving, and since not every financial centre shifts on the same date, the gap between MOEX and other exchanges wobbles by an hour for a few weeks each spring and autumn. The live panel at the top sidesteps all of that: it reads the current offset straight from the time-zone database, so OPEN, CLOSED and the countdown are always right to the second.
One caveat: this tracker models the regular weekly schedule only. It does not know about public holidays, half-days or unscheduled halts, when the MOEX may be closed even though the panel would otherwise show it inside trading hours. For anything time-critical, confirm against the exchange's official holiday calendar.
