CME Group announced it will implement an early close for agricultural, equity, and interest rate markets on Thursday, January 9, 2025. This adjustment is made to honor the passing of former President Jimmy Carter, designated as a U.S. National Day of Mourning. The decision aligns with broader market closures.
U.S. equity markets will be open until 8:30 a.m. CT on January 9, with all U.S. equity options expiring on that day moved to expire on January 8. Interest rates and agricultural markets will close at 12:15 p.m. CT. BrokerTec U.S. Repo and Treasury products will also have early closes.
However, CME Group cryptocurrency, energy, foreign exchange, and metals markets, along with products traded on the EBS platform, will operate with normal trading hours. All products trading on CME Globex will reopen at their regularly scheduled time on January 9 for a trade date of January 10. This ensures minimal disruption to critical markets.
