Forex Rates Today — Live Currency Exchange Rates

The most liquid trading hours are the London-New York overlap (13:00–17:00 UTC), when both major sessions are open simultaneously. EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY see the highest volume and tightest spreads during this window. Avoid trading around major news releases unless you have a defined strategy.

Forex rates change continuously because millions of transactions happen every second across global banks, institutions, and retail brokers. Every economic data release, central bank statement, or geopolitical event can trigger immediate repricing as traders adjust their positions.

A pip (percentage in point) is the smallest standard price move in a currency pair. For most pairs, it is the 4th decimal place (0.0001). For JPY pairs, it is the 2nd decimal place (0.01). A move from 1.1050 to 1.1051 in EUR/USD equals 1 pip.

Rates are sourced from Frankfurter API (European Central Bank reference rates), updated every 60 seconds. These are mid-market rates. Actual rates from your bank or broker will include a spread. For real-time tick-by-tick data, use a regulated broker platform.
