Did You Know? — São Paulo & Tokyo
Time Zone Facts: São Paulo
- •São Paulo uses BRT (Brasília Time, UTC-3) and observes BRST (UTC-2) during Brazilian summer (roughly November to March) — note this is Southern Hemisphere summer, opposite to Northern Hemisphere DST timing.
- •The B3 exchange (Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão) in São Paulo opens at 10:00 AM BRT and closes at 6:00 PM BRT — in Eastern US time that's 9:00 AM–5:00 PM ET (standard), giving excellent overlap with US markets.
- •At 23.6°S, São Paulo is just south of the Tropic of Capricorn. Daylight hours range from about 11 hours in June (its winter) to 13.4 hours in December (its summer) — reversed from Northern Hemisphere cities.
Time Zone Facts: Tokyo
- •Japan Standard Time (JST, UTC+9) does not observe Daylight Saving Time — Japan abandoned DST in 1952 after a post-war experiment, so JST stays fixed year-round.
- •The Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) operates 9:00 AM–11:30 AM and 12:30 PM–3:30 PM JST, closing for a lunch break — a notable difference from Western continuous-trading exchanges.
- •Tokyo sits at 35.7°N, giving it about 9.9 hours of daylight in December and 14.6 hours in June — a moderate seasonal swing compared to European cities at similar latitudes.
