It's that time again and the Japan season is open.

My favorite Etf:

You mean rather up to 8? :-)

Since Japan has no daylight saving time, for us German investors it means that the stock exchange is open from 2:00 to 4:30 and 5:30 to 8:00 in the summer. In winter, it is one hour earlier, from 1:00 to 3:30 and from 4:30 to 7:00.

For domestic investors, this means that the traditional stock exchanges have no overlap with the Japanese stock market. But there is a gap: The LS Exchange and also Lang & Schwarz in over-the-counter trading start trading as early as 7:30 am. This means that we have a 30-minute overlap with Japan from 7:30 to 8:00. During this time, the broker knows the reference rates in Tokyo and offers correspondingly lower spreads. You can see this here with an example:
