How many trading days are in a year for stock markets?

[Alice]

How many trading days are in a year is something I need for financial calculations, and I’m unsure if the number varies by country or exchange.

The average number of trading days of most stock markets is 252 in a year, not including weekends and holidays. The specific value is different depending on the country and exchange calendar.

Most people use 252 trading days as the standard. It’s based on 365 days minus weekends and major holidays. It’s not exact every year, but it’s close enough for most financial models.

Most stock markets operate around 250 trading days per year, excluding weekends and public holidays. In the United States, exchanges like the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ usually have about 252 trading days annually. The exact number can vary slightly each year depending on holiday schedules and leap years.
