Forex hours in Australia FAQ
When does the forex market open in Australia?
The global forex week starts Sunday evening in New York and ends Friday evening. The table converts Sydney, Tokyo, London and New York core hours into current Australia time.
What is the best forex trading time in Australia?
It depends on the pair. European currencies are commonly active in London, while majors usually gain liquidity during the London–New York overlap. Higher activity never guarantees direction or profit.
Do forex session times change?
Yes. Daylight saving and holidays change offsets. This page uses current timezone rules rather than one fixed table for the full year.
