IC Markets is hereby informing clients about the recent trading schedule changes which will happen as a result of the Anzac Day holidays and warned all the users to be aware.
ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. Anzac Day falls on April 25 every year, since 1916. On April 25, 1915, the Australian and New Zealand armies formed an allied expedition to capture the Gallipoli peninsula. Today it came to be known as the Anzacs and the pride taken in that name continues to this day.
As World War Two came, Anzac Day also served to commemorate the lives of Australians who died in that war. During Anzac Day, the Australian government honors the service and sacrifices of veteran personnel and their families and recognizes the contribution the military has made to their families.
The meaning of Anzac Day today includes the commemoration of all Australians killed in military operations. Anzac Day is a time when Australians pay tribute to the sacrifices of the more than 102,000 heroes who gave their lives.
For 2022, Anzac Day will fall on Monday, meaning that all Australians will have a public holiday. It will the first long weekend for Australia since 2019. Some Australian brokers will have to change their trading schedule, as IC Markets did. The following changes the trading times for 2 products where the times stated below are according to the platform (GMT +3).
