# Market Hours

**Market Hours**

Since Avantis relies on Pyth price oracles, we follow their market hours (which in turn are the [traditional market hours](https://www.cmegroup.com/trading-hours.html) of each asset class), available at the following hours:

| Asset Class                  | Opening Hours                                            | Exceptions                                                                                                                                                                                |
