Trading sessions
The forex market runs 24 hours a day from Monday to Friday, but activity varies through the day. See which financial centres are open right now.
How to use sessions
01
Session overlaps
When London and New York are both open, volumes and moves are largest and spreads are tightest.
02
Asian calm
During the European night the market is quieter — suitable for range trading.
03
Scheduled news
Key US data is released at 8:30 New York time — sharp moves are possible in the first minutes.
04
Friday evening
Liquidity drops before the weekly close, and positions held over the weekend risk a Monday gap.
