It's a federal holiday that celebrates the hard work (literally) of the American labor movement — think back to the late 1800s, when workers pushed hard for fair pay, sane working hours, and safer jobs. Fast forward to today, and it's basically the US's unofficial goodbye summer long weekend, plus a nod to everyone who keeps the wheels turning. Quick Reminders Before You Trade. US Shares are fully closed for the day. Some markets are closing early. Spreads might widen and liquidity might thin out. Forex, Crypto, and the rest of the Indices and Shares are running as usual.
