Market Sessions
Follow forex session opens and liquidity windows.
FXNews tracks Sydney, Tokyo, London, and New York sessions so you can plan around active market hours, overlaps, and weekend closures.
Tokyo
JPY and Asia session context
Tokyo activity can influence JPY pairs, Asia-Pacific currencies, and early liquidity before Europe opens.
London
European liquidity
The London session often brings stronger participation in EUR, GBP, CHF, and cross-market positioning.
New York
US data and overlap volatility
New York is critical for USD releases and the London/New York overlap, one of the most active trading windows.
Why session timing matters in forex
The same economic event can behave differently depending on liquidity. News released during active London or New York hours often gets more immediate participation than releases during quieter windows.
FXNews pairs session timing with calendar risk so you can see whether a high-impact event lands near an open, overlap, or market close.
