# SHFE vs LME: 2026 trading-day mismatches

Compare the same local calendar-date label and find dates when one side trades and the other is closed. Half days count as trading days.

SHFE exchange trading-day calendar, excluding INE; LME exchange-day calendar, excluding prompt dates, settlement and venue hours.

The local calendar-date label is the same on both sides; the time zones differ. This compares daytime calendar status, follows the accepted weekday day-calendar scope, and does not assert exchange-assigned trade dates. Evening-only reopenings and raw weekend events are not interpreted as additional trading days. It compares calendar dates, not simultaneous UTC sessions, overlapping hours, positions, settlement or arbitrage windows.

Unknown or irregular statuses stay null; if either side is unknown, the mismatch is unknown. Verified, provisional and unknown quality are counted separately.

Coverage: 365/365 known dates · 365 verified · 0 provisional · 0 unknown. 21 verified mismatches · 0 provisional mismatches.
