U.S. Stock Markets Closed for Good Friday Holiday
美國股市因耶穌受難日假期休市
For over 150 years, the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq have maintained a unique tradition: closing completely for Good Friday.
超過一百五十年來，紐約證券交易所與納斯達克一直保持著一項獨特的傳統：在耶穌受難日當天全面休市。
Despite this long-standing practice, Good Friday is not an official U.S. federal holiday.
儘管這項做法歷史悠久，但耶穌受難日並非美國官方的聯邦假日。
This closure originated from the religious influence of early Wall Street leaders who wished to attend services.
這項休市慣例源於早期華爾街領袖的宗教影響，他們希望在那天參加禮拜。
Interestingly, the U.S. bond market often operates on a shortened schedule rather than closing entirely.
有趣的是，美國債券市場通常採取縮短交易時程，而非完全關閉。
Furthermore, while the stock market is quiet, economic data like the government's monthly 'Jobs Report' may still be released.
此外，儘管股市處於休市狀態，政府每月發布的「就業報告」等經濟數據可能仍會公布。
Unlike in many European countries where Good Friday is a public holiday, in the U.S., this financial silence remains a distinct, industry-specific phenomenon before trading resumes as usual on Monday.
與許多耶穌受難日為公共假日的歐洲國家不同，在美國，這種金融界的沉寂依然是一種獨特且針對該產業的現象，直到週一交易恢復正常為止。
