Are stock market holidays the same as public or bank holidays?

Not always. An exchange may trade on a public holiday, close on a day that is not a nationwide holiday, or run a shortened session. Use the exchange-specific calendar rather than a general bank-holiday list.

Which time zone is used for trading hours?

Trading hours are shown in the exchange's local time zone. Exchange detail pages also show your current local time so you can compare the two without manually converting time zones.

What does a half day or shortened session mean?

A half day is a trading day with an earlier close or otherwise reduced session. The calendar labels these exceptions and shows the applicable session hours when they are available.

How are emergency weather closures handled?

Emergency weather and operational closures are treated as exceptions to the regular calendar. They are added when reliable exchange or market notices are available, but time-sensitive decisions should still be confirmed with the official venue.

How often is the exchange calendar updated?

The site is rebuilt from the latest available market schedule dataset, and every exchange page shows its own data snapshot date. Late announcements can occur, so official exchange notices remain the final authority.

Can I use this information for trading decisions?

The calendar is a planning and reference tool, not financial advice or an execution guarantee. Confirm critical schedules, settlement rules, and last-minute changes with the exchange, broker, or other official source.
