Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed on the third Monday of January each year. It celebrates the life and achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a leader of the American civil rights movement.
Why do trading hours change on US holidays?
US holidays affect trading hours because major exchanges like NYSE, NASDAQ, and CME either close or operate with reduced hours. This impacts the trading of US-based instruments including indices, shares, and certain forex pairs.
What time zone are the trading hours displayed in?
All trading hours in this schedule are displayed in Server Time, which is GMT+2. This is the standard time zone used by Traders Trust trading platforms.
Will cryptocurrency trading be affected on MLK Day?
No, cryptocurrency markets operate 24/7 and are not affected by US holidays. All cryptocurrency trading will continue with normal hours on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
When will normal trading hours resume?
Normal trading hours will resume on Tuesday, 20 January 2026. All markets that closed early or were fully closed on Monday will return to their regular schedules.
