How it works
US economic data, Treasury markets and Federal Reserve communication can make the period especially relevant to dollar pairs.
What to check
Check the timing of scheduled US releases and the exact daylight-saving time in each region. Session labels shift by an hour relative to countries that change clocks on different dates.
- Watch US data times
- Account for daylight-saving changes
- Expect conditions to change after London closes
Limits and risks
Liquidity can fall after the London close even while New York remains open. The same pair can trade differently across the session.
