Counting method and boundary example
Evaluate every one of the 365 local calendar dates independently for SSE, SZSE and BSE; include both 1 January and 31 December. The calendars are not assumed to be identical.
Open and half-day records each count as one trading day. Half days are also listed separately and are already included in the trading-day column. Closed days include ordinary weekends and exchange holidays.
Unknown, irregular or inconsistent records remain unknown: the lower bound counts confirmed open dates, and the upper bound adds unknown dates. A statutory make-up workday does not automatically become a trading day.
These are scheduled trading-date counts for cash equities; they do not determine settlement days, live session status or Stock Connect availability.
2026-10-07 · SSE closed · SZSE closed · BSE closed → 2026-10-08 · SSE open · SZSE open · BSE open. Only the open date contributes to this two-date example.
