Xetra cash equities trade Monday–Friday from 9:00 until 17:30 CET. Extended Xetra Retail Service runs 8:00–8:55 and 17:30–22:00 CET. Börse Frankfurt is generally 8:00–22:00 CET; bonds 8:00–17:30 CET. Founding and headquarters TODO:VERIFY. Fees TODO:VERIFY. 30 December 2026 may deviate.
Official Xetra and Börse Frankfurt clocks
Source: Deutsche Börse cash-market “Trading calendar and trading hours” at cashmarket.deutsche-boerse.com/cash-en/trading/trading-calendar-and-trading-hours (research lock 25 August 2026). FWB® is the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, covering Xetra and Börse Frankfurt. Times below are CET as printed. This page invents no other book. Euronext hours are TODO:VERIFY and are not this table. SIX 09:00–17:30 CET is a different operator.
| Book / window | Start | End | Notes as printed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xetra | 9:00 CET | 17:30 CET | Monday–Friday |
| Xetra Retail Service (early) | 8:00 CET | 8:55 CET | Extended retail, not the 9:00 main book |
| Xetra Retail Service (late) | 17:30 CET | 22:00 CET | Depends on closing auction / Trade at Close |
| Börse Frankfurt (general) | 8:00 CET | 22:00 CET | “In general” for the floor/specialist book |
| Börse Frankfurt bonds | 8:00 CET | 17:30 CET | Bonds, not the share/ETP general window |
| Public-holiday early end (shares/ETPs) | — | 20:00 CET | Structured products until 22:00 CET |
Xetra’s main matching window is 9:00–17:30 CET, Monday–Friday. The 8:00–8:55 CET retail early window is Extended Xetra Retail Service, not a claim that the Xetra CLOB is open at 8:00. The late retail window 17:30–22:00 CET depends on the closing auction and Trade at Close — do not treat 22:00 as a guaranteed last print on every symbol. Börse Frankfurt is “in general” 8:00–22:00 CET; bonds stop at 17:30 CET. Public-holiday early end for shares and ETPs is 20:00 CET, with structured products until 22:00. Check the named date on the hours page rather than inventing a holiday list here. This page does not invent the length of the Xetra closing auction or a Trade at Close cutoff beyond what the hours page already stated. Tick size and lot size are TODO:VERIFY on the then-current FWB rulebook.
Founding and headquarters TODO:VERIFY
Founding year TODO:VERIFY. This hours URL does not print a FWB origin year. Do not invent 1585 or any other heritage date. Headquarters city as “Frankfurt” is TODO:VERIFY versus the operations address printed on the hours page: Xetra, Mergenthalerallee 61, 65760 Eschborn. Eschborn is the contact line on that page. It is not confirmed here as the legal headquarters. The JSON headquarters field is TODO:VERIFY. Contrast Tokyo Stock Exchange, where JPX prints 1 April 1949 and 2-1 Nihombashi Kabutocho on the corporate profile. Frankfurt does not get that treatment from this hours source.
Do not collapse Xetra and Börse Frankfurt into one candle. Xetra is the electronic cash book with a 9:00 open. Börse Frankfurt is the generally 8:00–22:00 CET venue named on the same hub. Retail extended hours sit on Xetra as a service, not as a rewrite of the 9:00–17:30 main session. Listing counts, DAX membership, and market capitalisation cutoffs are not on this hours page and are not invented.
30 December 2026 and what is not a U.S. overnight
The hours page flags that 30 December 2026 may use deviating trading hours (circular TBA). Do not invent that day’s open or close. Regular trading is listed for 2026 Ascension, Whit Monday, and Corpus Christi — those are not U.S. early-close days and not a reason to copy the U.S. session hours 2026 table onto FWB. U.S. exchange overnight 9:00 p.m.–4:00 a.m. ET is planned for 6 December 2026 on named U.S. books, not live as of 25 August 2026, and not Xetra. Broker overnight is ATS access, not FWB. This page names no brokers as venues.
IEX post-market ends 5:00 p.m. ET. Arca late runs to 8:00 p.m. ET. Those are Eastern clocks on other exchanges. Xetra’s 17:30 CET main close is not 4:00 p.m. ET and not 8:00 p.m. ET. See pre-market trading. Trading halts follow the venue’s rules; this page invents no halt counts. Index-options GTH on Cboe C1 is a different product; Cboe C1 equity-options GTH is TBA. Neither is Xetra cash.
Fees, sizing, and what this page is not
Transaction, listing, and market-data fees are TODO:VERIFY against the then-current Deutsche Börse cash price list. This profile invents none. Example sizing only: account $10,000, 1 percent risk equals $100. If the stop is $1.50 away, shares = floor(100 ÷ 1.50) = 66, round down, on the risk calculator (crypto UI; treat the unit as shares, round down). PDT is not current law. The U.S. stock scanner at /stock-scanner is Coming soon — not live, no subscription price on this page.
This page is not a founding-year claim, not a Frankfurt-versus-Eschborn HQ verdict, not U.S. overnight, not 24/7, not a broker-hours table, and not a fee quote. It is the Xetra 9:00–17:30 CET main book, the 8:00–8:55 and 17:30–22:00 CET retail extensions, and the Börse Frankfurt general 8:00–22:00 CET window, plus the 30 December 2026 deviation flag.
FAQ
When does Xetra trade?
Monday–Friday 9:00–17:30 CET on the cash-market hours page. Extended Xetra Retail Service is 8:00–8:55 CET and 17:30–22:00 CET (late depends on closing auction / Trade at Close). That retail service is not the main 9:00 book.
When does Börse Frankfurt trade?
Generally 8:00–22:00 CET. Bonds 8:00–17:30 CET. Public-holiday early end for shares/ETPs: 20:00 CET (structured products until 22:00). Check the named date.
When was the Frankfurt Stock Exchange founded, and where is HQ?
Both TODO:VERIFY. The hours page prints an Eschborn operations address (Mergenthalerallee 61, 65760 Eschborn) as Xetra contact, not a confirmed legal headquarters. No founding year on that page.
Does 30 December 2026 use normal hours?
Maybe not. The hours page says deviating trading hours may apply (circular TBA). Do not invent that day’s stamps. Regular trading is listed for 2026 Ascension, Whit Monday, and Corpus Christi.
Are Xetra or Börse Frankfurt fees on this page?
No. Fees TODO:VERIFY. None invented. This is not a broker-hours table and not personalized advice.
Not financial advice. Trading stocks can result in loss of capital. Session times are from the Deutsche Börse cash hours page as of 25 August 2026 and can change. Founding, headquarters, and fees are TODO:VERIFY. Educational content from DennTech Trading Solutions.
