Global commodity markets are ceasing operations for the year-end holiday period. This temporary shutdown affects a wide range of commodities, including:

• Energy products (crude oil, natural gas)
• Metals (gold, silver, copper)
• Agricultural goods (corn, soybeans, wheat)

The closure allows market participants to observe the holidays and provides a period of reduced volatility. Trading volumes typically decrease significantly during this time.

Normal trading activity is scheduled to resume at the beginning of the new year. Market participants should be aware of the adjusted trading hours and settlement schedules.

Traders and investors are encouraged to review their positions and manage risk appropriately in anticipation of the market closure and subsequent reopening.
