The month of September has very few holidays interrupting trading, similar to August. The only significant market holiday affecting the schedule is September 6, Labor Day in the US and Canada. On this day, trading US-listed securities will be unavailable. Trading currency pairs involving the US dollar, such as EUR/USD, USD/CNY, and USD/RUB will be halted for the day in many FX markets around the world, like the Moscow Exchange.
With all trading involving US assets being halted on September 6, traders will likely switch to other financial instruments, boosting demand for European securities and less popular currencies. It is possible to make a profit from trading a wide range of assets that will replace US assets on September 6. To do so, a trader should buy a diversified selection of CFDs that do not include the US dollar, as well as CFD on shares of non-US companies. The base currency could range from traditional safe-haven currencies like the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen to second-tier currencies like the Indonesian rupee, the Brazilian real, and even the Polish zloty.
On September 6, only markets in the US will be closed, which will greatly boost demand for unconventional and non-convertible assets. Traders could take advantage of the situation by buying these assets in advance and selling them on this day. It is unlikely to bring significant profit, but the earned gains and experience will still make it worthwhile.
The Tokyo Stock Exchange will be closed on September 19, Japan’s Old Age Day, as well as on September 23, the autumn equinox, which is a traditional holiday for the exchange in Tokyo. On these days, Japanese securities will be traded via the CFD market.
Throughout the rest of the month, global financial markets will follow their regular schedule.

MERGE MARKS GREEN ERA FOR ETHEREUM. JOIN AT START TO EARN YIELDS IN FUTURE
The Ethereum Merge is called a revolution in the crypto world. Be the pioneer of progressive change together with InstaForex.
After the shift from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS), the Ethereum blockchain became faster, greener, and safer.
New changes:
- Nods are now selected based on the total amount of ETH invested. So, stakers or validators, as they are now called, no longer have to solve cryptogram puzzles to validate new blocks. Instead, they must have at least 32 ETH in the pool. ETH tokens are used as lottery tickets: the more ether validators stake, the more likely it is that one of their tickets will be drawn and they will add a record of a transaction to the Ethereum digital ledger.
- Since cryptogram puzzles will no longer be part of the system, energy costs will drop by as much as 99.65%. In terms of power consumption, running POS is like running Google Chrome or Netflix.
- Attackers would now need 51% of the staked ETH to bypass the system. The more ETH tokens are staked, the more secure the network becomes, as the value of the system’s 51% capital increases. What is more, hackers can now be correctly identified and kicked out of the system.
a
Generally speaking, Ethereum has become green, scalable, secure, and sustainable. Register an account with InstaForex and start trading cryptocurrencies right now.

INSTAFOREX RECOGNIZED AS BEST BROKER IN LATIN AMERICA
International Business Magazine, an authoritative business publication based in Dubai (UAE), has summed up the results of its annual award ceremony to honor the best international financial companies.
It is a great honor for us to be among the winners of this prestigious award. We are especially pleased to win a nomination that is new for us. InstaForex was recognized as the Best Forex Broker 2022 in Latin America.
Our company is constantly expanding its presence in global financial markets. InstaForex has long been a leader in online trading across Asia. Every year, we receive awards from European experts. Now we have been highly appreciated by ones from the other side of the ocean.
While broadening its horizons, InstaForex keeps providing its clients with top-quality products and services. We value the trust of traders and always strive to live up to it.
This autumn, InstaForex Loprais Team surprised the fans of the Dakar Rally with good news. The team added two legendary Tatra vehicles to its truck fleet. Apart from that, its PRAGA V4S DKR truck has been included on the list of available trucks in the most anticipated video game - Dakar Desert Rally.
The cooperation between InstaForex, the international fintech company, and Loprais Team began more than 10 years ago. InstaForex Loprais Team made a splash in 2011, winning the prestigious Silk Way Rally competition. Since then, the team has struck lots of victories. Together we remain determined to win more races and receive new trophies.
Since 2012, InstaForex Loprais Team, led by experienced Czech pilot Ales Loprais, has been annually participating in the Dakar Rally, a multi-day marathon. This race is considered to be the biggest and the toughest one on the planet. InstaForex Loprais Team has been steadily showing stunning results since that year.
Ales Loprais is a multiple winner of many rally raids as well as an excellent team leader. He continued the family tradition and became a racer. His uncle, well-known pilot Karel Loprais, won grueling and rough Dakar races 6 times.
Karel Loprais passed away last year. InstaForex Loprais Team decided to honor his memory by restoring 2 legendary trucks - Tatra Puma and Tatra T815 HAS. Karel Loprais won many races behind the wheel of those powerful trucks. Quite soon they will again take part in the Dakar races.
If you like playing video games, you have the opportunity to experience what it is like to be a part of InstaForex Loprais Team. In early October, the long-awaited Dakar Desert Rally game was officially released. According to the developers, the video game turned out to be the biggest and most epic off-road rally racing adventure ever made. Dakar Desert Rally features a virtual version of Praga V4S DKR, the truck of Ales Loprais.
Interestingly, the Praga V4S DKR truck is a 1,150-horsepower beast that has been on the list of available trucks in the Dakar games since 2020. Game players will appreciate the strong engine of the truck when navigating the sweltering sands and dangerous dunes in the Arabian desert, especially under the most severe weather conditions.
Currently, the team is studiously preparing Praga V4S DKR for the new Dakar Rally season, which is scheduled for January 2023. Similar to previous rallies, this one is likely to bring more tough challenges.
There is not much time left before the start of the Dakar Rally. We are confident that InstaForex Loprais Team will demonstrate remarkable results with our strong support once again. InstaForex is a company that represents success and a strong commitment to victory.
MAKING EDUCATION ACCESSIBLE WORLDWIDE WITH THINKING HUTS
More than 250 million children around the world do not have access to education due to overpopulation or the lack of schools. At InstaForex, we understand the importance of education and how vital it is for a child to choose and create their own future. We have partnered with Thinking Huts to extend access to education and to give more opportunities to younger generations.
Thinking Huts is a non-profit organization that creates innovative humanitarian technology solutions in partnership with local communities to bridge the gap in educational opportunities worldwide. Building a school using traditional construction methods can take months or even years. With 3D printing, the process can be reduced to just a few weeks.
Together with Thinking Huts, we want to do our part in building a future in which quality education is available where it is needed the most. On April 14, 2022, the first 3D-printed school was opened in Fianarantsoa, Madagascar, in partnership with the Ecole de Management et d'Innovation Technologique (EMIT). Now, it has 2,500 students.
We are delighted to contribute to this development and hope that more schools will soon open in the most remote corners of the world. Together, we can build a future in which education is paramount!

Anyone has an urge to slam the outgoing 2022. Nevertheless, it has proven that every cloud has a silver lining, but it is much more rewarding to shine ourselves.
People had to deal with a slew of tough challenges and jolts.

InstaForex Loprais Praga aroused a flood of emotions among its fans at the Dakar Rally 2022. Though the team headed by Ales Loprais did not finish the race at the pedestal, everyone witnessed their remarkable, fair, and dedicated performance. The small yet close-knit team met the tough challenge. We believe that InstaForex Loprais team is sure to win the Dakar Rally in the new year.
Last but not least, the traditional Miss InstaForex beauty contest ended with a bunch of adorable winners. They outpaced more than a hundred of participants from dozens of cities and new countries and shared the contest prize pool of $45,000.

InstaForex is proud to get involved in a new charity project, Thinking Huts. This is a nonprofit organization which demolishes barriers to education around the world by introducing a groundbreaking approach of 3D printed schools.

InstaForex Loprais Team with Ales Loprais at the helm secured the top tank in the truck category at stage 9. Still, they had to withdraw from the Dakar Rally 2023. After the accident, the racer decided to leave the tournament.
Despite the withdrawal, Ales and his crew managed to achieve strong results at each of the interim stages and took the lead in the overall standings until the end.
Let’s recall momentous scenes of the rally and enjoy the success at the stages
On New Year’s Eve, the 45th edition of the famous Dakar Rally opened with the 13-kilometer-long Prologue which stretched along the Red Sea coast. InstaForex Loprais Team met the challenge easily. Sadly, Praga V4S DKR was not able to grab a well-deserved rank in the top 5.
For a start, Ales Loprais, Jaroslav Valtr jr., and Petr Pokora were ranked 6th from 55 in the truck category. They lost by 0.7 second to Dutch racer Victor Versteijnen who took 5th place.
At stage 1 of the Dakar Rally 2023, Praga V4S DKR #508 coped well with all difficulties of the terrain. At high speed, the crew caught up with racing cars and buggies. Eventually, the team notched the second best result of the day. Ales Loprais, Jaroslav Valtr jr., and Petr Pokora moved up 4 ranks and stood at the second rank in the overall ranking, only 5 minutes behind the leader Martin Macik.
“The first stage was surprisingly tough. Our starting position was not exactly perfect. From the very beginning, we had to deal with dust from buggies and cars,” Ales Loprais said.
Ales Loprais and his team did a great job with another rocky route and after two stages they took the lead in the truck category.
Ales and his crew overcame the following stages with confidence despite all sorts of natural and technical challenges.
Harsh weather conditions, complicated terrain, tire punctures, and penalties did not prevent them from being the leaders of the race.
The ninth stage was final for the Loprais team, but not the final one for all the other participants of the rally. The red and black truck Praga V4S DKR No. 508 got stuck in a flooded and muddy wadi for 15 minutes. Nevertheless, InstaForex Loprais team managed to break away from other trucks, finishing the ninth stage in fourth place and increasing their final lead in the truck category to almost 27 minutes.
InstaForex has supported the team for many years. During this time, we have gone through troubles a few times that we successfully solved together.
We believe that further editions of the famous rally will go without tragic accidents and the crew will again display their stunning performance.
Let’s wish Ales and his crew to recover from the shocking event and move on with renewed energy!

Changes in trading hours will affect only the largest stock exchanges in the US, Canada, and Japan.
Their equity markets will be closed for trading in observance of national holidays.

March could be considered the busiest month for the financial markets. Trading in major currency pairs would only be affected by a single holiday, Vernal Equinox Day in Japan. Notably, March 2023 has the lowest number of non-trading days - eight, or four regular weekends.
The Tokyo Stock Exchange will be closed on Tuesday, March 21. As a result, trading in #N225 (Nikkei 225) will be unavailable on that day.
March is a month of almost uninterrupted trading. Like in 2022, this month may offer a lot of economic events and news. Their impact may lead to increased volatility in the forex market, resulting in currency pairs making much bigger swings. The market will not stand still, and this period of turbulence could be a perfect opportunity for traders to make sizeable gains and get valuable experience.

Apart from International Workers’ Day, there are plenty of other public holidays in May which will impact stock trading in many countries.

The UK will celebrate Bank Holidays on May 8 and 29. The LSE and other stock exchanges will be closed. In the US, Memorial Day will take place on May 29.

Comments
The month of September has very few holidays interrupting trading, similar to August. The only significant market holiday affecting the schedule is September 6, Labor Day in the US and Canada. On this day, trading US-listed securities will be unavailable. Trading currency pairs involving the US dollar, such as EUR/USD, USD/CNY, and USD/RUB will be halted for the day in many FX markets around the world, like the Moscow Exchange.
With all trading involving US assets being halted on September 6, traders will likely switch to other financial instruments, boosting demand for European securities and less popular currencies. It is possible to make a profit from trading a wide range of assets that will replace US assets on September 6. To do so, a trader should buy a diversified selection of CFDs that do not include the US dollar, as well as CFD on shares of non-US companies. The base currency could range from traditional safe-haven currencies like the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen to second-tier currencies like the Indonesian rupee, the Brazilian real, and even the Polish zloty.
On September 6, only markets in the US will be closed, which will greatly boost demand for unconventional and non-convertible assets. Traders could take advantage of the situation by buying these assets in advance and selling them on this day. It is unlikely to bring significant profit, but the earned gains and experience will still make it worthwhile.
The Tokyo Stock Exchange will be closed on September 19, Japan’s Old Age Day, as well as on September 23, the autumn equinox, which is a traditional holiday for the exchange in Tokyo. On these days, Japanese securities will be traded via the CFD market.
Throughout the rest of the month, global financial markets will follow their regular schedule.

The Ethereum Merge is called a revolution in the crypto world. Be the pioneer of progressive change together with InstaForex.
After the shift from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS), the Ethereum blockchain became faster, greener, and safer.
New changes:
- Nods are now selected based on the total amount of ETH invested. So, stakers or validators, as they are now called, no longer have to solve cryptogram puzzles to validate new blocks. Instead, they must have at least 32 ETH in the pool. ETH tokens are used as lottery tickets: the more ether validators stake, the more likely it is that one of their tickets will be drawn and they will add a record of a transaction to the Ethereum digital ledger.
- Since cryptogram puzzles will no longer be part of the system, energy costs will drop by as much as 99.65%. In terms of power consumption, running POS is like running Google Chrome or Netflix.
- Attackers would now need 51% of the staked ETH to bypass the system. The more ETH tokens are staked, the more secure the network becomes, as the value of the system’s 51% capital increases. What is more, hackers can now be correctly identified and kicked out of the system.
a
Generally speaking, Ethereum has become green, scalable, secure, and sustainable. Register an account with InstaForex and start trading cryptocurrencies right now.

This autumn, InstaForex Loprais Team surprised the fans of the Dakar Rally with good news. The team added two legendary Tatra vehicles to its truck fleet. Apart from that, its PRAGA V4S DKR truck has been included on the list of available trucks in the most anticipated video game - Dakar Desert Rally.
The cooperation between InstaForex, the international fintech company, and Loprais Team began more than 10 years ago. InstaForex Loprais Team made a splash in 2011, winning the prestigious Silk Way Rally competition. Since then, the team has struck lots of victories. Together we remain determined to win more races and receive new trophies.
Since 2012, InstaForex Loprais Team, led by experienced Czech pilot Ales Loprais, has been annually participating in the Dakar Rally, a multi-day marathon. This race is considered to be the biggest and the toughest one on the planet. InstaForex Loprais Team has been steadily showing stunning results since that year.
Ales Loprais is a multiple winner of many rally raids as well as an excellent team leader. He continued the family tradition and became a racer. His uncle, well-known pilot Karel Loprais, won grueling and rough Dakar races 6 times.
Karel Loprais passed away last year. InstaForex Loprais Team decided to honor his memory by restoring 2 legendary trucks - Tatra Puma and Tatra T815 HAS. Karel Loprais won many races behind the wheel of those powerful trucks. Quite soon they will again take part in the Dakar races.
If you like playing video games, you have the opportunity to experience what it is like to be a part of InstaForex Loprais Team. In early October, the long-awaited Dakar Desert Rally game was officially released. According to the developers, the video game turned out to be the biggest and most epic off-road rally racing adventure ever made. Dakar Desert Rally features a virtual version of Praga V4S DKR, the truck of Ales Loprais.
Interestingly, the Praga V4S DKR truck is a 1,150-horsepower beast that has been on the list of available trucks in the Dakar games since 2020. Game players will appreciate the strong engine of the truck when navigating the sweltering sands and dangerous dunes in the Arabian desert, especially under the most severe weather conditions.
Currently, the team is studiously preparing Praga V4S DKR for the new Dakar Rally season, which is scheduled for January 2023. Similar to previous rallies, this one is likely to bring more tough challenges.
There is not much time left before the start of the Dakar Rally. We are confident that InstaForex Loprais Team will demonstrate remarkable results with our strong support once again. InstaForex is a company that represents success and a strong commitment to victory.

More than 250 million children around the world do not have access to education due to overpopulation or the lack of schools. At InstaForex, we understand the importance of education and how vital it is for a child to choose and create their own future. We have partnered with Thinking Huts to extend access to education and to give more opportunities to younger generations.
Thinking Huts is a non-profit organization that creates innovative humanitarian technology solutions in partnership with local communities to bridge the gap in educational opportunities worldwide.

Teamed up with InstaForex, stars of the Dakar rally raid, ice hockey, and chess established new goals and notched up victories.
Four members of the HKM Zvolen, where InstaForex has acted as a general sponsor for 9 years, won a bronze medal at the Olympic Games.

InstaForex Loprais Praga aroused a flood of emotions among its fans at the Dakar Rally 2022. Though the team headed by Ales Loprais did not finish the race at the pedestal, everyone witnessed their remarkable, fair, and dedicated performance. The small yet close-knit team met the tough challenge. We believe that InstaForex Loprais team is sure to win the Dakar Rally in the new year.
Last but not least, the traditional Miss InstaForex beauty contest ended with a bunch of adorable winners. They outpaced more than a hundred of participants from dozens of cities and new countries and shared the contest prize pool of $45,000. Gazing at Miss InstaForex, the famous phrase “Beauty will save the world” first comes to mind. One thing is certain that beauty will definitely bring harmony, grace, and charm to the world.
InstaForex is proud to get involved in a new charity project, Thinking Huts. This is a nonprofit organization which demolishes barriers to education around the world by introducing a groundbreaking approach of 3D printed schools.

InstaForex Loprais Team with Ales Loprais at the helm secured the top tank in the truck category at stage 9. Still, they had to withdraw from the Dakar Rally 2023. After the accident, the racer decided to leave the tournament.
Despite the withdrawal, Ales and his crew managed to achieve strong results at each of the interim stages and took the lead in the overall standings until the end.
On New Year’s Eve, the 45th edition of the famous Dakar Rally opened with the 13-kilometer-long Prologue which stretched along the Red Sea coast. InstaForex Loprais Team met the challenge easily. Sadly, Praga V4S DKR was not able to grab a well-deserved rank in the top 5.
For a start, Ales Loprais, Jaroslav Valtr jr., and Petr Pokora were ranked 6th from 55 in the truck category. They lost by 0.7 second to Dutch racer Victor Versteijnen who took 5th place.
At stage 1 of the Dakar Rally 2023, Praga V4S DKR #508 coped well with all difficulties of the terrain. At high speed, the crew caught up with racing cars and buggies. Eventually, the team notched the second best result of the day. Ales Loprais, Jaroslav Valtr jr., and Petr Pokora moved up 4 ranks and stood at the second rank in the overall ranking, only 5 minutes behind the leader Martin Macik.
“The first stage was surprisingly tough. Our starting position was not exactly perfect. From the very beginning, we had to deal with dust from buggies and cars,” Ales Loprais said.
Ales Loprais and his team did a great job with another rocky route and after two stages they took the lead in the truck category.
Ales and his crew overcame the following stages with confidence despite all sorts of natural and technical challenges.
Harsh weather conditions, complicated terrain, tire punctures, and penalties did not prevent them from being the leaders of the race.
The ninth stage was final for the Loprais team, but not the final one for all the other participants of the rally. The red and black truck Praga V4S DKR No. 508 got stuck in a flooded and muddy wadi for 15 minutes. Nevertheless, InstaForex Loprais team managed to break away from other trucks, finishing the ninth stage in fourth place and increasing their final lead in the truck category to almost 27 minutes.
InstaForex has supported the team for many years. During this time, we have gone through troubles a few times that we successfully solved together.
We believe that further editions of the famous rally will go without tragic accidents and the crew will again display their stunning performance.
Let’s wish Ales and his crew to recover from the shocking event and move on with renewed energy!

March could be considered the busiest month for the financial markets. Trading in major currency pairs would only be affected by a single holiday, Vernal Equinox Day in Japan. Notably, March 2023 has the lowest number of non-trading days - eight, or four regular weekends.
The Tokyo Stock Exchange will be closed on Tuesday, March 21. As a result, trading in #N225 (Nikkei 225) will be unavailable on that day.
March is a month of almost uninterrupted trading. Like in 2022, this month may offer a lot of economic events and news. Their impact may lead to increased volatility in the forex market, resulting in currency pairs making much bigger swings. The market will not stand still, and this period of turbulence could be a perfect opportunity for traders to make sizeable gains and get valuable experience.

As a rule, the choice of certain trading instruments is rather limited at the start of May as people in many countries celebrate International Workers’ Day on May 1. For instance, stock exchanges in the UK, France, Germany, and Switzerland will be closed.
However, Forex will operate normally, including the countries listed above.
Apart from International Workers’ Day, there are plenty of other public holidays in May which will impact stock trading in many countries. For example, equity markets in Japan will be closed for a long weekend from May 3-7 on the occasion of three national holidays in a row – Constitution Day, Greenery Day, and World Children's Day. The UK will celebrate Bank Holidays on May 8 and 29. The LSE and other stock exchanges will be closed. In the US, Memorial Day will take place on May 29. None of the stock exchanges and banks will operate in the country. The Toronto Stock Exchange has a holiday on Victoria Day, scheduled for May 22.
Despite the abundance of May holidays, please note that the foreign exchange market will work normally and will be closed only on regular weekends.
