FXMarketHours

FXMarketHours shows the 'market hours' of the major FX markets. This simple tool takes bank holidays and weekends into account and allows traders to check the current status of all markets at a glance.

Please note that the opening and closing times are approximate because of the OTC (Over the Counter) nature of the Forex market. There are at least two benefits in knowing the 'trading hours' of FX markets:
  1. The first hour after a major market opens is considered very important and often indicates how the session might develop.
  2. In periods when market 'trading hours' overlap, liquidity tends to increase as more traders participate in the FX market.
