Financial markets in the United States, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and South Korea will be closed on May 25 because of public holidays. The holiday schedule also shortens trading hours for several major futures contracts. CME Group precious metals and West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures will end early at 02:30 Beijing time on May 26. U.S. stock index futures and U.S. Treasury futures on CME Group will close earlier at 01:00 Beijing time, while ICE Brent crude futures on Intercontinental Exchange (global futures exchange) will end at 01:30 Beijing time. Such holiday schedules can reduce liquidity and lead traders to adjust positions before markets reopen.
