What happened

Japanese stock markets are closed today because of a public holiday, according to a brief market notice carried by Sina Finance's news feed.

The notice, attributed to East Money Information, gives no further detail on the holiday or on when trading will resume.

Why it matters

A market-wide closure means no share trading takes place in Japan for the day, so investors cannot adjust positions on Japanese exchanges during the session.

Because the item does not say when trading restarts, readers should treat the reopening schedule as unconfirmed rather than assume the next session.
