📉 Commodities Market:
Gold, Silver, and U.S. Crude Oil Futures trading on CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) will close early at 03:30 UTC+8 on February 18.
📊 Stock Market Impact:
Stock index futures trading will also end earlier than usual at 02:00 UTC+8 on February 18.
🔍 What This Means for Traders:
✅ With U.S. markets closed, global liquidity might decrease, leading to potential price fluctuations in international markets.
