Forex market working hours

The forex market, based on ‘spot’ transactions, is unique in comparison with all other global markets.
This is because trading takes place 24 hours a day, 5 days a week (ACM platform works from Sunday 22:00 to Friday 23:00 CET). Financial centers are open for work, and banks and other organizations exchange currencies in different parts of the world for different purposes.

Therefore, trading never stops apart from a short break during the weekend.
Early closings are possible depending on calendar arrangement such as, for example, Christmas or new year’s eve.
