Understanding Forex Market Hours

While the forex market is often described as open 24 hours a day, five days a week, it’s important to recognize brief daily pauses between major trading sessions. Specifically, between the New York close and Sydney open, liquidity significantly thins as leading financial institutions momentarily halt trading activity.

During this transitional period, spreads widen and volatility can spike, creating challenging conditions for market participants. To protect your clients and maintain execution quality, T Markets enforces controlled downtime during these intervals, ensuring your trading infrastructure delivers reliable, stable liquidity when markets are truly active.

Commodities, Indices & Stocks Trading Hours

Unlike the decentralized forex market, many financial instruments such as commodities, indices, and stocks are traded on regulated exchanges with defined operating hours. This means trading access is limited to specific time windows.

For example, stocks listed on the NASDAQ exchange are available for trading between 14:30 and 21:00 (UTC), aligned with the exchange’s official hours. In contrast, the NASDAQ index CFD offers extended trading hours—almost 23 hours per day—providing greater flexibility for your clients.

To optimize trade execution and client satisfaction, consult the comprehensive trading timetable to understand when each market is accessible and plan your offerings accordingly.
