The Kuwait stock market will shorten trading hours during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, the stock exchange said on Wednesday in a statement on its Web site.

The second-largest Arab bourse will be open from 10:40 a.m. local time (0740 GMT) to 12:45 p.m. (0945 GMT) during the month, which regional astronomers said would likely begin on Sept. 13.

The fast begins at the sighting of the new moon.
