I posted info on this yesterday as a heads up, doing so again.
U.S. markets will be closed Wednesday for the Juneteenth holiday.
NYSE and Nasdaq will be closed
The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) is recommending the US Bond market close that day. So it is.
FX desks will be closed, perhaps the odd skeleton crew.

Juneteenth, celebrated annually on June 19th, commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States.
The holiday marks the day in 1865 when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the end of slavery, over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln.
