Columbus Day (US) and Thanksgiving Day (Canada)



As a reminder Monday 11 October 2010 is Columbus Day in the US and the bond markets and banks will be closed, although the stock market will be open. It is not a settlement day for stocks however.

It is also Thanksgiving Day in Canada, and the equity markets and other financial markets will be closed. This may lead to thin trading in some of the mining and oil stocks.
