Trading hours are determined by the time in Chicago. Note that Daylight Saving Time (DST) procedures vary by time zone and will affect the times shown
here. For non-U.S. cities shown in this table, the trading hours may shift by one hour as the U.S. changes between Standard Time and Daylight Saving
Time. Activity during the Curb session uses the same Trade Date as the preceding RTH session. The purpose of the Curb session is to maximize the
