How to Interpret This Graph

There are at least two reasons why you should track the major forex market trading hours:

  • The first hour after a major market opens is considered very important and often indicates how the session might develop.
  • In periods when market 'trading hours' overlap, liquidity tends to increase because more traders are participating in the FX market.

Notes

  • FXMarketHours Yahoo! Widget available. New!
  • Opening and closing times are approximate because of the OTC (Over the Counter) nature of the forex market.
