EGX Trading Hours
ساعات تداول البورصة المصرية
The Egyptian Exchange holds its continuous trading session on business days from Sunday to Thursday, and is closed on Friday, Saturday and official holidays — a schedule that differs from Western markets that trade Monday to Friday. Exact session times can change, so investors confirm the current opening and closing times before placing orders.
Example
Because the week runs Sunday to Thursday, news breaking on a Friday or Saturday is absorbed into prices at the Sunday open rather than during the weekend.
Why it matters
The calendar differs from Monday-to-Friday markets, so an Egyptian holder reacting to international news may face a gap of days before being able to act on it.
A common mistake
Assuming session times are fixed. Opening and closing times and holiday schedules are set by the exchange and are adjusted — for Ramadan among other reasons — so confirm the current session with the EGX before relying on it.
