Forex hours in Malaysia time

Malaysia keeps UTC+8 all year. The Tokyo and Sydney sessions fall in the Malaysian working day, while the London-New York overlap arrives in the evening and runs towards midnight.

The forex market runs from Sunday 17:00 to Friday 17:00 New York time. In Malaysia that is Monday 06:00 to Saturday 06:00 in January and Monday 05:00 to Saturday 05:00 in July. The tables show both months because New York, London and Sydney move their clocks in different weeks. For about three weeks in March and one week around the start of November the US and UK are out of step, and the overlap starts an hour earlier than usual.

When to trade, when to wait

Most of the day's range in EUR/USD, GBP/USD and gold is made in the London session and the London–New York overlap (21:00–01:00 (+1 day) MYT in January). The Asian hours are usually quieter outside the yen and Aussie pairs. On a US or UK holiday one of the two big centres is shut, so volume is thin and spreads can be wider; check the lists above before planning a trade on those days.
