The New York Session, also known as the North American session, is one of the major forex trading sessions, along with the Asian and European sessions. It begins at 8:00 AM EST and ends at 5:00 PM EST. The New York session is significant because it overlaps with both the European and Asian sessions, resulting in increased trading activity and liquidity. Many economic reports, such as the US Non-Farm Payrolls report, are released during this session, which can lead to significant price movements. The New York session is also a key time for traders based in the Americas, as it offers the most convenient trading hours for them.
