A working weekend is still a closed market.

Government make-up workdays are annotations, never instructions to reopen an exchange.

02 /

The evening is not the trading date.

A Friday evening can belong to Monday. After a holiday, the returning evening belongs to the following trading date.

03 /

An exchange notice takes precedence.

Accepted amendments carry their source, affected dates and a public revision record. Unknown is never silently changed to open.
