This will be in observance of Ascension Day and with it being on a Thursday, we could see many people take a “bridge” holiday on Friday into the weekend as well. The holiday here is not one that is observed in Spain or Italy though, with Assumption Day (in August) being the more important celebration.
The post here is just a heads up that even with it being a holiday in some parts of the region, markets will remain opened and trading hours will continue as per usual. The Euronext (except Oslo), Xetra, and Frankfurt stock exchanges will continue to operate accordingly, albeit with likely lesser liquidity conditions.
To those celebrating, I wish you all a good break today and a wonderful weekend too if you’re taking some extra time off. Have a good one.
