January 19th is a day when the US stock market is closed, an important date investors must be aware of in advance. This market holiday is due to Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and the US stock market will be closed all day, which also affects the trading schedules of related futures and bond markets.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day Causes US Stock Market Closure, Investors Need to Plan Ahead

On January 19th, due to Martin Luther King Jr. Day (a statutory holiday), the US stock market will cease trading for the entire day. This means all investment activities based on US stocks will be paused. For investors involved in US stock trading, this is a significant market pause date, requiring advance adjustments to trading plans.

Major Exchanges Adjust Trading Hours, Multiple Products Affected

Although the US stock market is closed, trading hours for futures markets are relatively complex, and investors should pay special attention:

CME Trading Adjustments: Precious metals futures and US crude oil futures contracts will close early, with trading ending at 03:30 Beijing time on January 20th, significantly shorter than usual trading hours. Additionally, US bond and stock index futures contracts will close early at 02:00 Beijing time on January 20th, meaning the last trading opportunities for these two types of contracts will come earlier than normal.

Agricultural Futures Markets: ICE and CBOT agricultural product-related trading will be closed for the entire day, synchronized with the US stock market. No trading opportunities for agricultural futures will be available on this day.

All investors should incorporate these time adjustments into their trading plans to avoid rushed operations after trading has ended.
