According to NPBFX, precious metals such as gold and silver (XAU/USD, XAG/USD) will see early closures on Dec. 24 at 18:45 GMT and Dec. 31 at 15:00 GMT, with full trading breaks on Dec. 25 and Jan. 1. Trading will resume with a late opening at 03:00 GMT on Jan. 2.

Major global equity indices will also experience multiple interruptions. Asian indices such as ASX200 and HSI50 will be closed from Dec. 24 to Dec. 26 and again from Dec. 31 to Jan. 1, reopening on Jan. 2 at 03:00 GMT. European benchmarks including CAC40, DAX30, FTSE100, IBEX35 and STOXX50 will operate on shortened or suspended schedules, with several early closes, full-day breaks and delayed reopenings detailed across the holiday period.
