If you’re asking when the forex market is closed today, the answer depends on your local time zone and whether today is a weekday or weekend.

Standard Forex Market Hours (GMT)

• Opens: Sunday at 10:00 PM GMT
• Closes: Friday at 10:00 PM GMT
• Closed: From Friday 10:00 PM GMT to Sunday 10:00 PM GMT

So, the forex market is closed all day on Saturday, and until late Sunday night GMT.

If Today Is a Weekday (Monday to Friday)

• There’s no full closure during weekdays, unless there’s a bank holiday or public holiday affecting a region or liquidity.

If Today Is Saturday or Sunday

• On Sunday, it reopens at 10:00 PM GMT (which is Monday morning in Asia-Pacific time zones).
