What local time does us commodity market open and close?

The U.S. commodity markets, including the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), generally open for trading at 8:30 AM Eastern Time and close at 3:00 PM Eastern Time on regular trading days. However, many commodities trade in after-hours sessions, which can extend trading times significantly. For example, some futures contracts may have nearly 24-hour trading availability. Always check specific market hours, as they can vary by commodity and day.
