Forex markets generally operate around the clock from Monday to Friday across major global sessions.

Buy or Sell

Traders may take a view on whether one currency could strengthen or weaken relative to another.

Highly Watched Markets

Currency prices can respond quickly to economic data, central-bank decisions and geopolitical events.
