Introduction: When the bells of New York fall silent, where does global capital flow?
Investors watching the global market may have experienced this:
A-shares are booming, but Hong Kong stocks are closed.
You want to chase US stocks, only to find it’s Presidents’ Day in the US.
Although global markets seem to operate 24/7, each exchange has its own “closing time.”
Why do holidays differ so much across countries? This article organizes the global trading schedule and provides a 2026 reference table for major exchanges.
Exchange holiday schedules are more than just a “calendar”:
US stock holidays follow federal holidays and industry customs. In 2026, there are about 10 full-day holidays and a few shortened trading days.
Features: Holidays falling on weekends are observed on the preceding Friday or following Monday. Thanksgiving Eve and Christmas Eve often have early closures.
Centered around Spring Festival and National Day. Spring Festival can result in more than a week of consecutive holidays.
Adjustment days: Pre- or post-holiday workdays may be added to create continuous “golden weeks.”
New Year and Golden Week are periods with many holidays.
Cultural feature: Holidays include Coming of Age Day, Emperor’s Birthday, Health & Sports Day, and more.
A blend of Western and Chinese holidays.
Half-day trading: The day before Lunar New Year, Christmas Eve, and New Year’s Eve have half-day sessions.
Follows Christian holidays and bank holidays.
Bank holidays: Early May, late May, and August holidays; Easter also observed.
One of the exchanges with the most holidays, reflecting Hindu, Islamic, Sikh, and other religious celebrations.
Special feature: Diwali includes a one-hour “Muhurat Trading Session.”
Holidays are concentrated around Christian traditions like Easter, Ascension Day, and Pentecost.
Includes Labor Day and King’s Birthday as unique local holidays.
Lunar New Year, Chuseok, Samil Day, Children’s Day, Buddha’s Birthday, etc., with adjustment holidays similar to China.
Fewer holidays, mainly nationwide public holidays.
