US stock market Christmas holiday arrangement

December 25th is the Christmas holiday in the United States, and the US stock market will be closed for one day on that day. Not only that, the US stock market will close 3 hours in advance on December 24th, which is 2:00 on the 25th, Beijing time. Futures contracts such as Brent crude oil futures contracts under the Intercontinental Exchange and precious metals under the CME also have corresponding early end times.

Reasons for market closure and market impact

The US stock market chooses to close on Christmas, mainly out of respect for American traditional culture, so that market participants can have enough time to spend the holiday with their families. During the holiday, market liquidity decreases, trading volume shrinks, and investors will adjust their investment portfolios in advance, resulting in increased market volatility.

Post-holiday market outlook

After Christmas, the market usually enters a period of adjustment. However, due to the strong expectation of future Fed rate cuts, investors are generally optimistic. It is recommended that investors make arrangements in advance and pay attention to market dynamics so that when the market becomes active again after the holiday, they can seize opportunities and be ready to continue to get on board at any time.
