When are markets open?
Each market follows local trading hours: NYSE/Nasdaq 09:30–16:00 ET, LSE 08:00–16:30 GMT, Tokyo 09:00–15:00 JST, etc. Prices outside session hours are the most recent close. Holidays vary by exchange — check the local calendar.
Why is the change percentage different from another site?
Some sites show change vs. the previous calendar day; others show change vs. the previous trading day (skipping weekends/holidays). NowPrice uses the previous close as published by Yahoo Finance, which is the standard daily-change definition.
How is the year-to-date (YTD) figure calculated?
YTD compares today's price to the first non-null close of the current calendar year for each index. The Jan-1 anchor is fetched once per index per year, so the figure stays accurate even on holidays. Hidden when the anchor isn't yet populated for a market.
