Market Holidays
Bank holidays in the eight centres behind the major currencies, for the year ahead.
Open, but thin
Forex trades straight through a bank holiday. What changes is who is there: with one centre shut, its currency trades on fewer desks.
Wider spreads, sharper moves
Less liquidity means wider spreads and bigger jumps on small orders. Check your stops and sizes before a holiday on either side of your pair.
Both sides of the pair
EUR/USD feels a US holiday and a Frankfurt one alike. Filter by each currency you trade to see every day that touches your pairs.
