Is the US stock market open right now?
No — the US stock market is closed after the 16:00 ET close.
It is currently 23:34 ET on 2026-08-04. The market next opens on Wednesday, August 5, 2026 at 09:30 ET — about 10 hours from now.
Regular US trading hours are 09:30–16:00 ET, Monday to Friday, excluding market holidays.
Trading right now — while the stock market is closed
US exchanges are shut, so every share quote you will find right now is frozen at the last close. These are perpetual futures on the same stocks, trading onchain at this moment — the prices below are live.
Can you trade stocks on weekends?
Not as shares. US exchanges are closed on Saturday and Sunday, and brokerage orders placed then simply queue for the next session. Perpetual futures are a different instrument: they have no expiry and no market-hours window, so Perplo's markets stay open through nights, weekends and US market holidays. You trade the price of the stock, not the share itself.
