A working weekend is still a closed market.
Government make-up workdays are annotations, never instructions to reopen an exchange.
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.
An exchange notice takes precedence.
Accepted amendments carry their source, affected dates and a public revision record. Unknown is never silently changed to open.
