FXOpen announced a change in trading hours due to the summer bank holiday in the UK

FXOpen has announced changes to its trading hours schedule due to the upcoming Summer Bank Holiday in the United Kingdom on August 26, 2024. These adjustments will primarily impact trading for the UK100 index, while other financial markets will continue operating as usual.

Traders should be aware of the following changes to the trading schedule for the UK100 index (#UK100), with all times listed in GMT+3:

    Friday, August 23: Trading will be available until 23:00.
    Monday, August 26: Trading for the UK100 will be closed throughout the day.
    Tuesday, August 27: Trading will resume at 03:00.
FXOpen has emphasized the importance of these schedule changes for traders who are active in the UK100 index. The closure on Monday, August 26, aligns with the UK Summer Bank Holiday, a public holiday that typically results in lower market activity and the closure of financial markets in the region.

For traders involved in other financial markets, FXOpen has confirmed that there will be no changes to the regular trading hours. All other instruments will be available for trading according to the usual schedule, ensuring that traders can continue their activities without interruption.

FXOpen advises all traders to consider these changes as they plan their trading strategies in the days leading up to and following the holiday. The company also notes that the trading hours mentioned above are subject to change, and any further updates will be communicated promptly.

As with any public holiday, reduced liquidity and increased volatility can be expected around the affected trading hours. Traders are encouraged to stay informed and manage their positions carefully during this period to avoid unexpected market movements.

FXOpen remains committed to providing its clients with transparent and timely information regarding trading schedules and other important updates. Clients are encouraged to reach out to FXOpen’s support team if they have any questions or require further clarification about the adjusted trading hours for the UK100 index during the Summer Bank Holiday.
