May 1 is Labor Day in the rest of the world, except US :-)

Japan - Today no Labor Day holiday.

Today don't bother to trade the Asian and European sessions.


The worst time to trade is around


Christmas & New Year's Day

Good Friday &

So, expect lower trade volumes on Monday, May 1.

US traders will be in the US stockmarket as it is not a holiday. Foreign countries have their own stock exchanges independent of the US. I do not see how it will affect US stockmarket trading volume.

It's all intertwined and interdependent, due to globalization. Such an international holiday surely will negatively affect the trade volumes.

I would doubt it. If your job is to trade the US markets you will be working on your countries holiday. Keep in mind on the days the US markets are closed, you have nothing to do if it's a regular workday in your country.
