Abstract generation in progress

The second day of Christmas marks a gradual resumption of activities in global markets. The United States maintains a standard schedule with the opening of the stock exchange and continuous trading of CME futures contracts on precious metals, energy resources, currencies, and stock indices.

A fragmented configuration of global markets

Unlike the United States, the European situation differs significantly. A technical limitation affects futures contracts related to U.S. Treasury bonds, which will experience a scheduled suspension between 14:00 and 19:00 (Beijing time), due to the closure of financial markets across the Old Continent.

Pacific and Canadian markets at a complete standstill

For this day, several major regions remain entirely closed: Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, as well as all Canadian stock exchanges are not operating. This setup reflects local holiday calendars following festive days.

Implications for traders

This mosaic of calendars implies a fragmentation of trading opportunities. Active investors need to adjust their strategies considering this uneven market availability and the periods of limited liquidity for certain instruments.
