Gold trading hours (IST)
When XAU/USD is most liquid — mapped to Indian Standard Time.
Gold trades nearly around the clock, five days a week. The deepest liquidity is the London–New York overlap, when spreads tighten and moves are cleanest.

|---|---|---|
| Sydney | 2:30 AM – 11:30 AM | Low |
| Tokyo | 5:30 AM – 2:30 PM | Moderate |
