SUMMARY:Is the Stock Market Open on New Year's Day 2027? HKEX Hours
DESCRIPTION:Hong Kong Stock Exchange are closed on Friday\, January 1\, 2027 for New Year's Day. \n\nNext holiday\nLunar New Year's Eve (Half-Day Trading)\, February 5\, 2027\nRegular hours\n9:30 am to 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm HKT\n\nFull schedule and background: HKEX Holidays. \nUpdated September 3\, 2026 \n\n← Previous HKEX Holidays\nThe Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) is closed on Friday\, January 1\, 2027 for New Year’s Day. No cash equities\, derivatives or bond trading takes place on the exchange that day. Any orders queued for that session will roll over to the next trading day\, and settlement timelines shift accordingly. For the full list of dates\, see the HKEX holiday calendar. \nBecause January 1 falls on a Friday in 2027\, the exchange closes for a single trading day rather than a longer stretch\, and normal trading resumes on Monday\, January 4\, 2027. \nWhich markets are closed on New Year’s Day 2027?\n\n\n\nMarket\nStatus\nNotes\n\n\n\n\nHKEX equities\nClosed\nNo trading in Hong Kong-listed shares\n\n\nHKEX derivatives (futures and options)\nClosed\nHang Seng Index futures and options do not trade\n\n\nHong Kong bond market\nClosed\nFollows the HKEX and general public holiday schedule\n\n\nLondon Stock Exchange (LSE)\nClosed\nUK markets also observe New Year’s Day as a bank holiday\n\n\nEuronext\nClosed\nContinental European exchanges close for New Year’s Day\n\n\nTokyo Stock Exchange (TSE)\nClosed\nJapan observes an extended New Year holiday period\n\n\nNew York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq\nClosed\nUS markets are also shut on January 1\n\n\n\nIs the market open the day before and after?\nThursday\, December 31\, 2026 is New Year’s Eve\, when HKEX typically runs a half-day session\, closing at 12:00 noon Hong Kong time (HKT) rather than the usual 4:00 pm close. Regular hours on a normal trading day are 9:30 am to 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm HKT. After the New Year’s Day closure\, trading resumes on Monday\, January 4\, 2027 with the standard full session. \nWhy do markets close for New Year’s Day?\nNew Year’s Day is one of the most widely observed public holidays across the world’s financial centres\, marking the start of the calendar year under the Gregorian system. Hong Kong\, like most major markets including London\, New York and continental Europe\, treats January 1 as a statutory public holiday\, so exchanges\, banks and clearing systems pause operations for the day rather than run a skeleton session. \nWhat It Means for Your Money\nIf you place an order on HKEX on January 1\, 2027\, it will simply sit unfilled until trading reopens on January 4\, since the exchange is not matching trades that day. Anyone holding Hong Kong-listed shares that pay dividends or have options nearing expiry should check whether record dates or expiry dates fall around the holiday\, as these can be pushed to the next business day. Settlement of trades executed just before the holiday (usually on a T+2 basis in Hong Kong) will also be delayed by the closure. Bank transfers and payroll processing in Hong Kong may be slower than usual around the New Year period because local banks also close. Cryptocurrency markets are unaffected\, since they trade continuously\, 24 hours a day\, seven days a week\, including on public holidays. \nRemaining HKEX holidays in 2027\n\nFebruary 5\, 2027: Lunar New Year’s Eve (half-day trading\, closes 12:00 noon HKT)\nFebruary 8\, 2027: Third Day of Lunar New Year (closed)\nFebruary 9\, 2027: Fourth Day of Lunar New Year (closed)\nMarch 26\, 2027: Good Friday (closed)\nMarch 29\, 2027: Easter Monday (closed)\nApril 5\, 2027: Ching Ming Festival (closed)\nMay 13\, 2027: Buddha’s Birthday (closed)\nJune 9\, 2027: Tuen Ng Festival (closed)\nJuly 1\, 2027: HKSAR Establishment Day (closed)\nSeptember 16\, 2027: Day Following Mid-Autumn Festival (closed)\nOctober 1\, 2027: National Day (closed)\nOctober 8\, 2027: Chung Yeung Festival (closed)\nDecember 24\, 2027: Christmas Eve (half-day trading\, closes 12:00 noon HKT)\nDecember 27\, 2027: First Weekday After Christmas Day (closed)\nDecember 31\, 2027: New Year’s Eve (half-day trading\, closes 12:00 noon HKT)\n\nFrequently Asked Questions\nIs the stock market open on New Year’s Day 2027?\nNo\, HKEX is closed on Friday\, January 1\, 2027 for New Year’s Day\, along with most other major exchanges worldwide. \nIs the Hong Kong bond market open on January 1\, 2027?\nNo\, the Hong Kong bond market follows the same public holiday schedule as HKEX and is closed on New Year’s Day. \nWhat time does HKEX close before the holiday?\nHKEX runs a half-day session on New Year’s Eve\, December 31\, 2026\, closing at 12:00 noon HKT instead of the usual 4:00 pm close. \nWhen is the next HKEX holiday after New Year’s Day 2027?\nThe next HKEX holiday is Lunar New Year’s Eve on February 5\, 2027\, which is also a half-day trading session closing at 12:00 noon HKT. \nAre banks open in Hong Kong on New Year’s Day?\nNo\, banks in Hong Kong typically close on New Year’s Day along with the stock exchange\, which can slow down transfers and other banking services that day. \n← Previous HKEX Holidays
