We were told it would close early. Wasn't a surprise. But since then we had this a few mins ago ''JUST IN: House passes Trump's 'big, beautiful bill''' Maybe that will give us a nice gap up and go. Maybe a big move up next week all week!! I want 7k ES!
You do know the markets are up about 6% in a few weeks and haven't pulled back the slightest and you think the bill being passed will add to more gains? If anything it's completely priced in...however remember more trillions being added to the deficit...
I was once short 35 big DAX contracts (full size ones) and they cancelled after hours trading due to new years eve, I think it was the day before new years eve. The DAX closed at its normal regular time, they just cancelled the after hours session. I was expecting to close my position in the after hours session. Luckily the EuroStoxx 50 futures were still trading after hours on Eurex, so I bought 100+ of those as a hedge so I could sleep that weekend.
Futures markets open later...they will ramp it up once again just to have some fun ahead of the weekend
