Dear traders,
In observance of Labor Day on Friday, 1 May 2026, please take note of our updated trading schedule and the market-hours adjustments for that day.
Labor Day, celebrated each year on the first of May, is an opportunity to honour the valuable efforts of workers around the world. The day symbolises workers’ rights, social justice, and the improvement of working conditions, and it is often marked by marches, cultural programmes, and events that highlight the essential role of labour in the economic and social development of societies.
During this holiday, market liquidity may decline and volatility may rise. Therefore, when planning your trades, be mindful of the potential increase in transaction costs and sudden price movements so you can avoid unnecessary risk.
All times listed are in GMT (UTC +0).
