Upcoming Market Holidays [October]

Modified on Fri, 2 Oct at 8:47 AM

Dear Client,

Within October’s financial calendar, global markets will experience several regional non‑working days and periods of reduced activity linked to local public holidays and institutional events. On October 1, Hong Kong markets close for National Day, impacting liquidity across regional equities and indices like the Hang Seng. Activity remains segmented mid‑month, with October 12 bringing closures in Canada for Thanksgiving and Japan for Sports Day, while October 19 marks another closure in Hong Kong for the Chung Yeung Festival. Toward the end of the month, October 26 sees Austrian markets close for National Day, followed by an early close on October 30 in Sweden. Although these holidays are geographically dispersed, their combined effect may result in thinner liquidity, wider spreads, and more volatile price behaviour, particularly during overlapping sessions, and traders are advised to plan accordingly.
