US and UK Stock Markets Closed for Holidays May 26, 2025 – Coincu

Both the US and UK stock markets will be closed on May 26, 2025, in observance of Memorial Day and Spring Bank Holiday, respectively.

This closure means trading volumes could decline, impacting indices and commodity contracts. Traders should consider these potential effects as markets pause for holidays.

Trading Schedules Adjusted: Impact on Markets

The closure on May 26 affects major stock exchanges in both the United States and United Kingdom. This aligns with historical holiday schedules for Memorial Day and Spring Bank Holiday.

Major changes due to this event include shifts in trading schedules for CME’s precious metals, U.S. oil futures, and ICE’s Brent crude oil futures. Trading will conclude early on May 27 for these contracts in Beijing time.

Market reactions may include a reduction in liquidity, affecting transaction volumes in traditional and cryptocurrency markets. According to Jack Dorsey, “Our vision remains clear, and our leadership structure reflects our commitment to innovation and security in the blockchain space,” which highlights the importance of preparing for adjustments.
