Greetings!
The Christmas holidays are a time when financial markets slow down, and traders and investors take a vacation, taking a cue from the markets.
What happens to the markets during the holiday season?
Traditional markets (forex, stocks, commodities) are closed on December 25 for Christmas, and trading closes early on December 24 (Christmas Eve). New Year's Day is also an official holiday. However, winter activity in the markets starts much earlier and lasts longer, as investors use this time to rest, plan, and prepare for the new financial year.
