Asian markets in your daytime
Southeast Asia sits between UTC+7 and UTC+8. The Tokyo session covers your morning, and the Nikkei 225, Hang Seng, China A50 and Singapore 30 index CFDs trade through the local day. London opens at 15:00–16:00 local time in winter and the London–New York overlap, the most liquid window for the major pairs and gold, runs from about 20:00 to 01:00.
Local currencies on the platform
USD/THB (the Thai baht) and USD/SGD (the Singapore dollar, which the Brunei dollar is pegged to at par) are available as CFDs. Other regional currencies are not offered; accounts are held in US dollars, which Cambodia already uses day to day.
