Frankfurt Session
What is the Frankfurt Session in CFDs?
The Frankfurt Session is one of the major trading sessions in the CFDs market. It begins in Frankfurt, Germany, a key financial hub in Europe. This session marks the start of the European trading day, when banks, financial institutions, and traders in Frankfurt become active, creating more movement and liquidity in currency prices.
Frankfurt Session Time
The Frankfurt Session usually starts at 7:00 AM GMT and runs until the London session opens at 8:00 AM GMT. During this one-hour window, trading volumes begin to rise as Europe wakes up and joins the global forex market.
Traders often watch this closely because the Frankfurt Session acts as a “warm-up” before the more active London session (also known as the European session) begins.
Why the Frankfurt Session Matters
- It sets the tone for the European trading day.
- It often brings early price movements, especially in pairs linked to the Euro like EURUSD.
- Many traders use it to prepare for the larger opportunities that come when the London session opens.
