The global financial market will experience a slight change in rhythm this weekend, and traders need to set their alarms! In information summarized by Lookonchain, the smart money tracking platform on the blockchain, it is mentioned that tomorrow, January 19, the US stock market will be completely closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
However, what is interesting and needs to be noted by commodity and index market participants is the early closure on January 20. This is not a full holiday, but trading hours are shortened.
Check the Trading Hours Changes on January 20:
· Gold, Silver & Crude Oil (CME): Trading of futures contracts for precious metals and U.S. crude oil will close early at 03:30 Beijing time.
· U.S. Bonds & Stock Indexes: Trading of futures contracts for U.S. government bonds and major stock indexes will stop at 02:00 Beijing time.
· Agricultural Products Market (ICE & CBOT): Will be fully closed on that day.
What Does It Mean for Traders and Investors?
This information is crucial for managing risks and positions, especially for those of you who are active in the futures and global commodities markets. Early closures or exchange holidays often lead to thinning liquidity and potentially increase volatility just before the close.
Platforms like Lookonchain remind us that amidst the dynamics of traditional markets influenced by holidays, smart money activity in the on-chain ecosystem (crypto assets) may continue to flow. They continue to monitor the flow of smart funds behind the scenes of blockchain, looking for signals before major news spreads.
So, make sure you adjust your strategy, secure your positions, and note these trading hour changes to avoid unwanted risk exposure!
