This two-week change is due to the US switching over to Daylight Saving Time two weeks before Eastern Europe (Admiral Markets will continue to work on Eastern European Time (EET)).
Please remember that there is a higher level of risk involved in maintaining opened positions and pending orders over this period. Also, please be aware that the trading hours indicated above may be subject to change, depending on the respective exchanges or liquidity providers.
It's always a good idea to keep an eye on our handy Forex Calendar, which will help you stay updated on all upcoming events which may impact the trading schedule.
Kind regards,
Admiral Markets
