Asian markets face holiday-shortened week from Sept. 28 to Oct. 2
Hong Kong and India are also scheduled to close on Oct. 1 and Oct. 2, respectively, raising the odds of lighter regional participation.
Asian stock markets are set for a holiday-shortened trading week from September 28 to October 2, with multiple exchanges closing on different days because of national and regional holidays, which can reduce trading activity across parts of the region. LiveMint Markets notes the clustering of closures may mean lower participation in some regional sessions.
For Indian investors watching global cues, key dates include September 28 for Taiwan, and October 1 to October 2 for China. Hong Kong and India are scheduled to observe market holidays on October 1 and October 2, respectively.
The Shanghai Stock Exchange has confirmed its National Day holiday starts on October 1. The Taiwan Stock Exchange will remain closed on Monday, September 28, for Teacher’s Day, and Taiwan was also closed on September 25 for the Mid-Autumn Festival, leaving September 28 as the fourth session with no trades after a weekend.
The article also highlights that several regional closures are expected to create thinner activity during some sessions, given the timing of holidays across Asia.
