On 11th February 2026, Moscow Exchange (MOEX) announced that the trading hours on the exchange will be extended due to a change in the closing auction time. For the stock and unit trust market, the closing auction will begin 15 minutes later, and for the bond market, it will begin 5 minutes later. The duration of the closing auction on both markets will be reduced to 5 minutes from 23rd March 2026.

As a result, the timing of the stock market’s main trading session will be synchronized with the trading schedule on the Moscow Exchange bond market and derivatives market. This will improve the convenience of cross-market trading.

Thus, from March 23rd, the regulations for holding the closing auction on the stock market will be as follows:

  • 18:55 – end of trading period;
  • 18:55–19:00 – closing auction.
