Avoid Trading & Settlement Issues with Our Market Holidays & Hours Data.

It would seem obvious that all market participants need to know when trading and/or settlement venues are unavailable due to a local holiday or amended hours of operations. However, firms spend a lot of time and money monitoring market holidays and hours of operation because not doing so can result in expensive errors and delays.

Using our data firms plan their trading and settlement transactions. With the detailed settlement and institution notes, firms automatically calculate the next trading day after any institutional holiday. Also, researchers rely on our historical data when back-testing trading strategies, execution models, and the like.
