Weekend Trading: Market Access, Liquidity, and Trading Conditions


Weekend trading refers to market activity outside standard trading hours, mainly in cryptocurrencies and selected CFD instruments. While most traditional markets are closed, certain assets remain accessible, although trading conditions may differ from weekday sessions.

Liquidity is typically lower during weekends, which may result in wider spreads and higher volatility. In these conditions, short-term price movements are often influenced more by positioning and sentiment than by fundamental drivers.

This article explains how weekend trading works, which markets remain accessible, and how trading conditions differ from standard sessions.

European Currencies Decline: Pound Hits New Lows, Euro Under Pressure


European currencies continue to weaken against the US dollar amid rising geopolitical tensions and increased demand for safe-haven and liquid assets. Market participants are reducing exposure to riskier instruments, putting pressure on both the euro and the pound. Additional support for the dollar comes from expectations surrounding upcoming US macroeconomic data, which may confirm economic resilience and reinforce the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance.

Escalating tensions in the Middle East remain a key driver for the FX market. Intensifying conflict, risks of disruptions to energy supplies, and rising oil prices are fuelling inflation expectations and boosting demand for the dollar. In such conditions, European currencies remain under pressure as investors favour safer assets over risk-sensitive ones.
