Market Holidays & Trading Schedule Adjustments
Financial markets observe regional and global holidays, which may lead to early market closures or suspension of trading on specific instruments.
We regularly update our trading calendar to reflect:
- Bank holidays and non-trading days
- Reduced liquidity periods
- Adjusted trading hours for specific assets
Our goal is to ensure that you’re always informed and can plan your trades accordingly. You can access the latest holiday schedule directly from your dashboard or subscribe for real-time updates.
