The company said the revised schedule affects commodities, indices, metals, equities and exchange-traded products, with several markets closing early or suspending trading entirely for the day.
Commodities and energy markets see closures and early finishes
According to Libertex, trading in agricultural commodities such as coffee, cocoa, sugar, wheat, corn and soybeans will be fully closed on January 19. Energy instruments, including crude oil benchmarks and related contracts (CL, WT, NG, HO, PL, PA, HG, NGASCash and USOilCash), will close early at 19:30 GMT and resume trading later the same day at 23:05 GMT.
Volatility-linked instruments will also be affected, with the VIX closing early at 16:30 GMT. These adjustments reflect limited market participation during the holiday period and may result in wider spreads and reduced execution depth.
Indices, metals and equities impacted
Equity indices such as ES, NQ, YM, Nikkei 225 and their cash counterparts will close early at 18:00 GMT. Precious metals will also follow modified schedules: XAUUSD, XAGUSD and XAUEUR are set for early closure at 19:30 GMT, while select gold-linked instruments will resume trading at 23:05 GMT.
Trading in American stocks offered as CFDs will be fully closed on January 19. This includes a broad list of ETFs and crypto-linked equity products such as SPY, ARKB, IBIT, ETHA, FBTC and others, as well as U.S. bond ETFs like IEF, SHY and TLT.
What traders should consider
Libertex recommends that clients review open positions, adjust risk management settings and monitor margin requirements ahead of the holiday schedule. Reduced liquidity can increase volatility and execution risk, particularly around early closures and market reopenings.
