The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) has recommended an early market close at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on January 9, 2025, for all fixed-income cash markets.

• This early closure applies to the trading of U.S. dollar-denominated government securities, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, over-the-counter investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds, municipal bonds, and secondary money market trading in instruments such as bankers’ acceptances, commercial paper, and Yankee and Euro certificates of deposit.

As for FX:

• Federal Reserve Banks closed on January 9
• Interbank Forex Trading operates 24 hours across global financial centers. However, the closure of U.S. banks and the Federal Reserve on January 9 may lead to reduced liquidity and trading volumes in USD pairs during US trading hours. This could result in wider spreads and increased volatility.
