Understanding Stock Market Holidays
Stock markets around the world observe various holidays throughout the year, during which trading is suspended. These closures can significantly impact trading strategies, settlement dates, and international business operations.
Why Market Holidays Matter
- Trading Strategies: Positions must be managed before market closures
- Settlement Delays: Trades may settle later due to holidays
- Volatility: Markets often see increased activity before long weekends
- Global Impact: One market's closure can affect others
Types of Market Closures
Not all market closures are the same. Full-day closures mean no trading occurs, while half-day schedules typically see markets close early (often at 1:00 PM local time). Some markets also have special pre-holiday trading sessions with modified hours.
