A trading holiday refers to a day when stock markets and other financial markets are closed for business. On these days, trading activities like buying, selling, and exchanging financial instruments (such as stocks, bonds, commodities, etc.) do not occur. Trading holidays typically coincide with public holidays, festivals, or special national observances.
