Market overlap

Nasdaq vs NSE India overlap

Compare the next common trading window between Nasdaq Stock Market and National Stock Exchange of India, including local times in both markets and the UTC overlap block.

Schedule reviewed Apr 30, 2026. Overlap windows are recalculated from regular-session catalogs and skip tracked full-day exchange closures. Half-days, halts, auctions, and emergency notices can still override a normal session, so confirm time-sensitive trading decisions with the exchange.

Best handoff read

Reference date

Thu, Nov 5 / Fri, Nov 6

Nasdaq and NSE India do not share a live regular-session window on the next common trading day, so teams usually rely on hand-offs rather than simultaneous cash-market trading.

Workflow examples

Practical ways to use the Nasdaq / NSE India overlap

The overlap page is for calendar and operations planning. It should help teams schedule monitoring, handoffs, and source checks without drifting into investment advice.

Live coverage workflow

There is no same-day live overlap, so treat the pair as a sequential handoff: finish the Nasdaq watch, then pass context before NSE India becomes active.

Closure pre-check workflow

Before scheduling a recurring cross-market ritual, check Nasdaq: Thanksgiving Day (Thu, Nov 26, 2026) Then check NSE India: Christmas Day (Fri, Dec 25, 2026)

Half-day and notice workflow

If the overlap matters for publishing, ops, or compliance timing, check half-day sensitivity first: Nasdaq: Day after Thanksgiving (Fri, Nov 27, 2026, early close 1:00 PM) NSE India: No modeled half-day appears in the current catalog window.

Overlap pair read

Nasdaq and NSE India: why this pair is different

The same overlap length can hide important differences. This read exposes the pair-specific clock relationship, session denominator, source boundary, currency split, and whether the common window is deep enough to be useful.

Pair fingerprint

Nasdaq vs NSE India is a cross-country · different currencies · no live overlap comparison. Nasdaq uses America/New_York; NSE India uses Asia/Kolkata. The overlap has to be read through two exchange-local clocks, not a fixed UTC offset.

Overlap strength

There is no shared regular-session minute in the next common window, so this pair is better treated as a monitoring handoff. UTC window: No overlap.

Local-market reading

Nasdaq sees the overlap as Regular session: 9:30 AM-4:00 PM; NSE India sees it as Regular session: 9:15 AM-3:30 PM. This is the important distinction from a generic “markets open now” list.

Session denominator

Nasdaq models 390 regular-session minutes per trading day; NSE India models 375. The overlap percentage is based on the shorter of those two regular-session totals.

Source boundary

Regular sessions and full-day closures come from Nasdaq market schedule and NSE market timings. The page does not model half-days, auctions, lunch-break changes beyond the stored sessions, halts, circuit breakers, or emergency exchange notices.

Currency and venue context

Nasdaq is denominated in USD; NSE India is denominated in INR. This page helps with schedule overlap, not relative value, liquidity, or trade recommendations.
A strong schedule overlap is still not a trading recommendation. It only means the modeled regular sessions share minutes after timezone conversion and tracked full-day closures are skipped.

Calendar watchlist

Nasdaq and NSE India: closures, half-days, and DST checks

A pair can look similar to another pair if you only compare the overlap minutes. The practical reading depends on whether the exchanges share a timezone, whether one side has an upcoming closure or half-day, and how much of the shared window survives after both regular-session calendars are applied.

Timezone drift watch

Nasdaq is UTC-05:00 in America/New_York; NSE India is UTC+05:30 in Asia/Kolkata. Recheck the page around DST transition weeks because one side can move while the other does not.

Next full-closure check

Nasdaq: Thanksgiving Day (Thu, Nov 26, 2026) NSE India: Christmas Day (Fri, Dec 25, 2026) The overlap skips modeled full-day closures, but unusual exchange notices still belong to the official calendars.

Half-day sensitivity

Nasdaq: Day after Thanksgiving (Fri, Nov 27, 2026, early close 1:00 PM) NSE India: No modeled half-day appears in the current catalog window. Half-days can shorten or remove the practical overlap even when the regular-session model says both markets are open.

Coordination pattern

no live overlap: Use this as a handoff page: one market is usually monitored before or after the other, not during a shared live block.

Session shape

Both markets are modeled as one continuous regular session per trading day, which makes the overlap block easier to interpret. Nasdaq is anchored in United States; NSE India is anchored in India. Cross-country pairs need both calendars checked.

Currency boundary

Nasdaq is denominated in USD, while NSE India is denominated in INR; schedule overlap does not imply currency or liquidity equivalence. This page is a calendar and timezone reference only, not a trading signal or investment comparison.
Use the watchlist as a pre-check before relying on the overlap for publishing, operations, settlement planning, or live market monitoring. It still does not replace the official exchange notice feeds.

Caveats
