0 1

I posted about this yesterday as a heads up, and I'm doing so again.

US markets will be closed on Wednesday for the Juneteenth holiday.

The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq will be closed

The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) recommends that the US bond market be closed on that day. If so.

Forex desks will be closed, and perhaps the odd skeleton crew.

As for futures markets, for CME equity products (times below are US Central Time, add an hour to get US Eastern Time):

Wednesday 19 June

  • 12:00 noon stop
  • 5:00 PM Re-opening

Thursday, June 20, official working hours

For other products at CME I will refer you to this:

Juneteenth, celebrated annually on June 19, commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States.

The holiday marks the day in 1865 when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared the end of slavery, more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.
