Unlike other markets, the Foreign Exchange Market is a continuous market, 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. This is so because somewhere around the world, there is always a major financial center open where banks, multi-national corporations, hedge funds and individual speculators are trading currencies.
The Market opens on Sunday 10 pm GMT (5pm EST) and closes on Friday 10 pm GMT (5pm EST).
