Market Closing early on Dec 31st?

Couldn't find this info anywhere. Wondered if Dec 31st was like Christmas Eve when the market closes at 1pm.

Anyone know?

 

No. Regular hours for most stuff.

Wasn't that hard to find:

I have it that floor trading of FX and Bonds futures ends at 1pm ET.

The rest of the US market goes on.

Regarding Europe; Germany and London markets close 13:15 GMT.

 

yes.

There ought to be some, two-minute-warning, last-minute, end-of-the-year "fireworks" in many markets that can be interesting. We'll see. :eek: :eek:
