Regional & Religious Holidays

Regional & Religious Holidays Endpoint

Market holidays often differ from public holidays. For example, most US markets close for Good Friday, but Good Friday is not officially a public holiday. In other cases, markets may be open despite public or religious holidays.

Regional and religious holidays can impact trading activity; namely, trading volume may be lower during a holiday even when markets are officially open.

For these reasons, TradingHours.com provides regional and religious holidays in addition to market holidays.
