Euro / U.S. Dollar forum
The July 4th, 2025, Independence Day holiday in the United States will affect Forex trading, primarily due to the closure of major US financial institutions like banks and exchanges. This closure reduces market activity and liquidity, especially for USD pairs.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Reduced Liquidity: The closure of major US exchanges and banks on July 4th will lead to lower trading volumes and liquidity in the Forex market, particularly for USD pairs. [1, 1, 3, 3] Early Closure on July 3rd: The US stock market will close early on Thursday, July 3rd, with trading ending at 1:00 PM ET, in preparation for the holiday. [2, 4, 4, 5] Potential for Volatility: While liquidity may be lower, there's still a possibility of increased volatility, especially after the holiday as markets reopen. [3, 3, 6, 6] Broker-Specific Policies: Some retail Forex brokers may have reduced customer support or modified trading hours on July 4th. Settlement Issues: Currency holidays can impact settlement times. Transactions involving USD may be deferred to the next valid business day (Monday, July 7th). [7, 7] Non-USD Pairs: Trading in non-USD pairs may be less affected, but it's still advisable to be aware of potential liquidity issues. [3, 3] Long Weekend: The proximity of the holiday to the weekend suggests a longer period of potentially lower trading activity.
