The broker listed XAGUSD, XAUEUR and XAUUSD among the instruments with a reduced session on February 16, stating that metals trading will close early at 21:30. The announcement gives all times in server time and does not state a time zone or UTC offset for that basis.
Index closes split into three times
Index instruments were grouped into three earlier closing times on the same date: J225, NDX, WS30 and SPXm at 20:00; CRUDEOIL, NGAS and UKOIL at 21:15; and AUS200, GDAXI and UK100 at 23:00. FXCL Markets presented these as early closes for the named products only, not as a suspension of index trading across its platform.
Scope and resumption
FXCL Markets said the schedule changes do not apply to Forex instruments and that the market will return to its normal schedule on Tuesday, February 17, 2026. The notice covers only the instruments it names and sets out no changes beyond February 16.
