Holidays Calendar

Here you may find a full CME holiday calendar.

Note for EUREX traders (EU traders only):

Please do not reach the loss limits indicated in the LMI Trade Report.
The location of the actual loss limit could be found at the end of this article in the section: About the Daily Loss Limit and Max Trailing Drawdown during the holidays with the combination of two days into one.

EUREX positions are not obligated to be closed due to an early market halt on the US session.

EUREX trading results will be cleared and counted as the regular trading day on the day when the US session market is early halt.

The US session trading results (US trading products result) will be combined for the day when the market halt and for the next trading session and will be counted as one trading day.

EUREX trading results on the next trading session after the US session market halt will be combined with the US trading results before the market halt and the next trading session's results.
