Exchange hours during the 2023 New Year holidays

Traditionally, before the New Year holidays, most traders are interested in how the exchange will operate and what days the holidays fall on.

This information is necessary in order to close existing positions in a timely manner and avoid additional fees for carrying over positions.

In addition, one should not forget about the holiday reduction in liquidity for almost all traded assets, which leads to a significant widening of spreads.

Therefore, it is important not only to know how the exchange will operate during the 2023 New Year holidays, but also to constantly monitor the spread size in the days leading up to the holidays.
