The US financial market’s operating schedules will change with the start of summer time, leading to new trading schedule adjustments on the Brazilian Stock Exchange starting on Monday, as announced by B3 (B3SA3).
A new hourly schedule for organized trading activities involving Forward Points with Mini Commercial Dollar futures contracts, as well as Dax and Euro futures, will become effective on March 31.
The modification undoes the previous expansion implemented in November 2024, which involved closing the American country’s summer time and extending B3’s monitoring of international markets.
The Brazilian Stock Exchange operator aims to standardize practices to help investors stay aligned with global markets, making arbitration operations and asset trading smoother.
The summer period in the USA starts on Sunday, September 9, 2025, and extends until November 2.

Record number of Brazilian Stock Exchange female investors
The amount of women participating in stock market investments increased by 7% in 2024, reaching a historic high of 1.381.426, according to a B3 survey released on Thursday. Despite this growth, women remain a minority in stock market investments.
Out of 5,259,178 investors, 3,877,905 are male (73.74%) and 1,381,269 are female (26.26%). The study also examines investors’ application behaviors, age distributions, state rankings, and product variety.
The total number of investors in the Direct Treasury exceeded one million, reaching 1,049,097, marking a 15.04% increase from December 2023 to December 2024.
The rise in the number of women participating in investments on B3 demonstrates the advancement of overall financial literacy among the population. Studies indicate that women typically save and accumulate more funds prior to entering the investment market, according to Christianne Bariquelli, B3’s Education superintendent.
