Gold trades almost 24 hours a day, five days a week. But not every hour is the same. At some times gold barely moves; at others it can travel $20 in minutes. If you trade from Kuwait or anywhere in the Gulf, knowing these windows in your own time zone is one of the easiest ways to trade better. Here is the full guide, in Kuwait time.<\/p>\n

That is why the times below move by one hour between summer and winter.<\/p>\n Most brokers pause gold for about an hour each night around the US close, roughly between midnight and 2:00 AM Kuwait time depending on the season. Gold closes on Friday night and reopens early Monday morning, Kuwait time.<\/p>\n When London opens, European banks and funds start trading and gold volume rises sharply. Moves become cleaner than during the quiet Asian hours, which makes this a good window for traders in Kuwait who trade before or around midday.<\/p>\n Most important US economic numbers, such as inflation (CPI) and the monthly jobs report (NFP, usually the first Friday of the month), come out at 8:30 AM New York time. Gold often makes its biggest move of the day in the minutes after. These moments can be very profitable, but also very dangerous for beginners because prices can jump past a stop loss.<\/p>\n This is gold’s busiest stretch. The US market opens while London is still trading, so liquidity is at its highest. For people in Kuwait who work during the day, it is also the most convenient window: right after work.<\/p>\nGold trading hours in Kuwait time<\/h2>\n
