2) Due to the early closure of instruments: BRENT, WTI, ASX200 and FTSE100 the pre-close margin conditions (footer note 1) will be applied earlier at:

BRENT and WTI:

29 December Friday at 21:00

Please note that there is a higher level of risk involved in maintaining opened positions and pending orders over holiday periods. Also, the indicated trading hours are subject to change by the respective exchanges or liquidity providers; changes in trading hours may also affect applicable pre-close terms.

Furthermore, periods such as this can increase the probability of wider spreads due to thinner liquidity in the market.

We'd also like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
