Navigate Market Volatility this 4th July

BY TIO Staff

|June 26, 2024

As we look ahead to the upcoming week, it’s important to note that certain events have the potential to significantly impact the financial markets.

With the UK general election and US independence day holiday both coinciding on this 4th July, we want to emphasize the importance of remaining vigilant and trading safely. Since the former is going to potentially be a high impact event and the latter is potentially going to be a period of reduced liquidity.

The convergence of these two events presents a unique scenario that is expected to cause increased market volatility. This will create trading opportunities and risks, so during this time, please monitor your open positions, maintain sufficient margin and ensure that your accounts are well-funded.

We understand that market conditions can be inherently unpredictable and the right preparation is essential to navigating them effectively.

As always, the customer support team is available 24/7 to help in case you have any questions.

Stay informed, be prepared, and trade safe. You can see the changes to the trading schedule below.
