SUMMARY:Is the Stock Market Open on Third Day of Lunar New Year 2027? HKEX Hours
DESCRIPTION:Hong Kong Stock Exchange are closed on Monday\, February 8\, 2027 for Third Day of Lunar New Year. \n\nNext holiday\nFourth Day of Lunar New Year\, February 9\, 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 October 19\, 2026 \n\n← Previous HKEX Holidays\nThe Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) is closed on Monday\, February 8\, 2027 for the Third Day of Lunar New Year. Equities\, derivatives and the Stock Connect links to mainland China all remain shut for the full session. Any orders entered on the holiday will simply queue and be released for matching when trading resumes. Settlement of trades executed on the last working day before the holiday will also be pushed back by the number of non-trading days in between. For the full run of 2027 closures\, see the HKEX holiday calendar. \nWhich markets are closed on Third Day of Lunar New Year 2027?\n\n\n\nMarket\nStatus\nNotes\n\n\n\n\nHKEX equities (Main Board and GEM)\nClosed\nNo morning or afternoon session\n\n\nHKEX derivatives (futures and options)\nClosed\nNo day or after-hours trading session\n\n\nStock Connect (Shanghai/Shenzhen links)\nClosed\nMainland China markets are also closed for Lunar New Year\n\n\nNew York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq\nOpen (regular hours)\nUS markets do not observe Lunar New Year\n\n\nLondon Stock Exchange\nOpen (regular hours)\nNo UK holiday on this date\n\n\nEuronext\nOpen (regular hours)\nNo eurozone holiday on this date\n\n\nTokyo Stock Exchange\nOpen (regular hours)\nJapan does not observe Lunar New Year as a market holiday\n\n\n\nIs the market open the day before and after?\nHKEX is closed for the full run of Lunar New Year\, which in 2027 covers Saturday February 6 (the public holiday itself\, falling on a non-trading day)\, Sunday February 7\, and the substitute Third Day holiday on Monday February 8. The last trading day before the closure is Friday February 5\, 2027\, with normal hours of 9:30 am to 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm Hong Kong time. Trading resumes on Tuesday\, February 9\, 2027\, which is itself the Fourth Day of Lunar New Year and also a scheduled market holiday\, so the next actual trading session falls after that. There is no early close attached to this particular holiday; early closes at HKEX are reserved for Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. \nWhy do markets close for Lunar New Year?\nLunar New Year\, also called the Spring Festival\, is the most important holiday period in Chinese culture and is marked by public holidays across mainland China\, Hong Kong\, Macau\, Taiwan and much of East and Southeast Asia. Hong Kong observes three consecutive statutory holidays covering the first three days of the lunar calendar\, during which banks\, government offices and most businesses close so families can gather\, exchange red packets and visit relatives. \nBecause HKEX is tightly linked to mainland Chinese markets through Stock Connect\, it has always aligned its Lunar New Year closures with those observed in Shanghai and Shenzhen\, so that cross-border settlement and clearing systems do not fall out of step. \nWhat It Means for Your Money\nIf you hold Hong Kong-listed shares or exchange-traded funds through an international broker\, any buy or sell order placed on February 8\, 2027 will simply sit unexecuted until trading reopens. Settlement of trades done just before the holiday will take longer than usual to clear\, since Hong Kong typically settles on a T+2 basis and non-trading days are excluded from that count. Dividend payment dates and options expiries that would normally fall on the holiday are shifted to the next business day. Bank branches and interbank payment systems in Hong Kong are also closed\, so same-day transfers initiated locally will not process until the following working day. Cryptocurrency markets are unaffected\, since they trade continuously around the clock regardless of exchange holidays. \nRemaining HKEX holidays in 2027\n\nFourth Day of Lunar New Year: February 9\, 2027\nGood Friday: March 26\, 2027\nEaster Monday: March 29\, 2027\nChing Ming Festival: April 5\, 2027\nBuddha’s Birthday: May 13\, 2027\nTuen Ng Festival: June 9\, 2027\nHKSAR Establishment Day: July 1\, 2027\nDay Following Mid-Autumn Festival: September 16\, 2027\nNational Day: October 1\, 2027\nChung Yeung Festival: October 8\, 2027\nChristmas Eve (half-day trading\, close at 12:00 pm): December 24\, 2027\nFirst Weekday After Christmas Day: December 27\, 2027\nNew Year’s Eve (half-day trading\, close at 12:00 pm): December 31\, 2027\n\nFrequently Asked Questions\nIs the stock market open on February 8\, 2027 in Hong Kong?\nNo. HKEX is closed for the Third Day of Lunar New Year\, with no morning or afternoon trading session. \nIs the bond market open on this day?\nHong Kong’s debt securities market follows the same exchange calendar\, so bond trading and settlement through HKEX-linked systems are also suspended on February 8\, 2027. \nWhat time does HKEX normally close?\nOn a regular trading day\, HKEX runs from 9:30 am to 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm Hong Kong time\, split into a morning and an afternoon session. \nWhen is the next HKEX market holiday after this one?\nThe very next closure is the Fourth Day of Lunar New Year on February 9\, 2027\, immediately following the Third Day holiday. \nAre banks open in Hong Kong on February 8\, 2027?\nNo. Banks and most government offices in Hong Kong are closed for the statutory Lunar New Year holiday period\, including this date. \n← Previous HKEX Holidays
