New trading schedule
Under the revised timetable, the copper market on the ZFX platform will now open at 02:30 GMT+1 instead of the previous 01:00 GMT+1. The closing time remains unchanged at 19:00 GMT+1. This adjustment applies to both quoting and trading sessions from Monday through Friday.
Updated schedule:
• Monday–Friday: 02:30 – 19:00 GMT+1
• Saturday–Sunday: Closed
Previously, the market opened at 01:00 GMT+1, giving traders an extra 90 minutes of access. By delaying the start, ZFX expects to reduce volatility during the opening session and improve price discovery by aligning trading hours with global liquidity windows.
Focus on client experience
In its statement, ZFX noted that the adjustment reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to providing consistent and reliable trading conditions for its users.
Clients are encouraged to review the new timetable and adjust their trading strategies accordingly. The broker emphasized that all other instruments on the platform remain unaffected.
Why it matters
Copper—often referred to as “Dr. Copper” for its reputation as a barometer of global economic health—is among the most actively traded commodities. Trading volumes are heavily influenced by overlapping sessions across Asia, Europe, and North America. By synchronizing the market opening with these key liquidity periods, ZFX aims to offer clients tighter spreads and reduced slippage.
The company added that this adjustment is part of a broader initiative to refine its product suite and adapt to evolving client needs. ZFX also reassured traders that its support teams are available to answer questions and assist during the transition.
It is worth noting that in July, ZFX launched copper trading on the London Metal Exchange (LME), further expanding its commodity offerings.
