just realized how thanksgiving trading hours affect the markets every year. so back when the US had thanksgiving on november 27, the exchanges went full shutdown mode - pretty wild. the CME wrapped up precious metals and oil futures early at 03:30 UTC+8, and stock index futures closed even earlier at 02:00. ICE also cut brent crude trading short at 02:30. honestly never paid attention to thanksgiving trading hours before, but when you're trading across time zones this stuff matters. do people actually factor in these holiday closures when planning their positions or is it just something that catches you off guard?
