The Asian trading session, often considered the first major session of the forex trading day, typically runs from 00:00 to 09:00 GMT. However, the specific hours can vary due to differences in local time zones and daylight saving adjustments. Major financial centers such as Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore are key contributors during this session. Consequently, currency pairs that include the Japanese yen and the Australian dollar often see higher volatility and liquidity during these hours.
