The Japanese stock market will be closed for three consecutive days from Monday, September 21, 2026, through Wednesday, September 23, 2026.
On Monday, September 21, the market will be shut all day in observance of Respect for the Aged Day. On Tuesday, September 22, it will also be closed all day as a National Holiday (Bridge Holiday), granted by law due to its position between two statutory holidays. Wednesday, September 23, marks the Autumnal Equinox Day, with the market again closed for the entire session.
Trading in Japan will not resume until Thursday, September 24. It is worth noting that while the cash equity market remains fully closed, the derivatives market operated by Japan Exchange Group (JPX) will continue to function under standard holiday trading hours during this extended break.
