The US Session
The US session is headquartered in New York. The GBP/JPY and USD/CHF show high volume and volatility during this time since their transactions require US dollars. Trading during this session becomes even more active when the US stock and bond markets open because foreign investors need to convert their currencies into dollar-dominated assets. The GBP/CHF often makes strong price movements during this period.
The US session runs from 8am to 5pm EST. (BD Time 7pm to 6am)
