Due to the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday in the United States, the US stock market will be closed for one day on January 19th. This change directly affects the trading hours of US stocks. According to PANews reports, several major futures exchanges have issued notices of trading hour adjustments. Investors need to familiarize themselves with the changes in US stock trading hours in advance to properly plan their trading strategies.

CME Futures Trading Hours Early Close

As the world’s largest derivatives exchange, CME’s precious metals futures and US crude oil futures contracts will close early. Specifically, trading for these two types of contracts will end at 03:30 AM Beijing time on January 20th. Meanwhile, US Treasury futures and stock index futures contracts will close even earlier, with trading stopping at 02:00 AM Beijing time on January 20th.

This means that traders holding long positions in these products need to complete position adjustments or close positions before the specified times to avoid being stuck with positions into the next trading day.

ICE and CBOT Trading Will Halt

In addition to CME, the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), which is part of the CME Group, will be closed all day on January 19th. The closure of these agricultural futures markets means that investors will be unable to conduct any trading activities on that day.

Investors Should Pay Close Attention to US Stock Trading Hour Adjustments

For traders relying on the US futures markets, understanding this change in US stock trading hours is crucial. Investors should plan their position management strategies in advance. Especially for traders crossing time zones, extra attention should be paid to the specific cutoff times in Beijing time to avoid misjudgments caused by time zone conversions. Additionally, it is recommended that investors mark these special trading hours so they can respond promptly to similar holiday arrangements in the future.
