Matsui Securities Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Satoshi Warita; hereinafter "the Company") announces that, effective from trades on Monday, April 13, 2026, it will expand the core time system, which was previously limited to USD/JPY, to all currency pairs in foreign exchange margin trading (FX). In addition, the Company will reduce the normal spreads for 18 currency pairs, including EUR/JPY, to offer the industry's narrowest normal spreads (*1).
## Background of the Change
Previously, for USD/JPY, the Company set the core time from 9 AM to 3 AM the next day, a period when many participants are active in the foreign exchange market and liquidity is high, effective from trades on Monday, October 20, 2025, and reduced the normal spread during core time to "0.2 sen" (*2).
To provide a more accessible trading environment for customers across a wider range of currency pairs beyond USD/JPY, we have decided to reduce normal spreads for 18 new currency pairs and introduce the core time system for all currency pairs.
