Why is Saudi Arabia open on Sunday?

The Saudi work week is Sunday through Thursday, with Friday as the day of communal prayer. Most Gulf markets and Israel follow the same pattern. The guide covers this.

Does this site handle daylight saving?

Yes, automatically. All times are computed from each exchange's IANA timezone, so DST transitions are applied without manual updates.

Is there an API?

Not currently. The dataset is small and lives in a single JavaScript file - you can read it directly from /assets/app.js.

How accurate are the holidays?

Approximate. We cover the major full-day closures for each market. Half-days and last-minute changes are not always reflected. Always confirm with the exchange for trading-critical decisions.
