The stock exchange announced the opening and closing dates for Taiwan stocks in 2025. Since the Lunar New Year in 2025 will be early, the holiday will begin in the second half of January. Therefore, there are only 15 trading days in January, which is the month with the shortest number of trading days in the whole year. The second month is February, with 19 trading days; the months with the most trading days are July and December, with 23 days each.
The stock market will be closed for 11 days during the Lunar New Year in 2025, the second longest closing date in history, second only to the 12 days in 2023. In addition, unlike 2024, where national holidays are more scattered, in 2025, in addition to the long holiday, there will be 5 consecutive holidays and 1 make-up day, and there will be a total of 246 Taiwan stock trading days throughout the year.
Take a look at the 2025 Taiwan Stock Market Last Trading Day and the Spring Festival Taiwan Stock Market Closing Date
What is the last trading day for Taiwan stocks?
The closing day refers to the last trading day of the stock market before the Lunar New Year holiday, which is usually the third working day before the Spring Festival holiday. Because the delivery system of Taiwan stocks is to complete the delivery before 10 am on the second working day after the T+2 trading day, it will be postponed if there is a holiday. Therefore, last trading day and markets closing will be closed 2 days in advance before the Lunar New Year to reserve enough working days to process delivery operations. Therefore, stocks cannot be bought and sold on the first and second working days before the Spring Festival holiday, and banks only handle settlement and delivery operations.
Stocks can still be traded normally on the last trading day, and the trading methods are the same as usual. The trading will not be officially closed until the market closes at 1:30 pm on that day, and all trading activities will be suspended until the red trading day after the Lunar New Year.
