BURSA Malaysia Bhd announced today that it will implement a half-day trading closure on the eve of Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Chinese New Year.
The broking industry had frequently requested for the trading closure to be implemented on the eve of these holidays, it said in a statement.
As such, after an assessment, the exchange made the decision to implement half-day trading closure for the securities and derivatives markets on the eve of the two holidays mentioned, with immediate effect.
The relevant office and trading closure announcements will be made as usual to the market closer to the holidays, Bursa Malaysia said. - Bernama
