Eastern Time on all days of the week beside Saturdays, Sundays and holidays announced by the exchange beforehand. These trading hours put it on par with US stock exchanges such as the NASDAQ and New York Stock Exchange.
As of 2017, the TSX consisted of more than 1,500 firms, worth a total of $1.77 trillion in market capitalization. While most of these firms are based on Ontario, a significant part of the exchange’s market capitalization also comes from Alberta, because of the region’s opulence natural resources such as gas and oil.
