Trading session local time · America/Sao_Paulo
Session hours and the settlement cycle are compiled by Finance Foundation from the venue’s own published trading calendar. These are exact and change-prone — an extended session or a moved auction dates a figure like this quickly — so each row below carries what two independently maintained open calendars say about the same venue. Verify against the exchange before relying on any of it operationally. Sources.
Two independently maintained open calendars return 10:00–18:00, which is not what we hold. Cross-check from exchange_calendars (Apache 2.0) and pandas_market_calendars (MIT); neither endorses this site.
