Calendars and ids
A calendar is a set of days that aren’t business days (closures, early closes and weekend working days) plus a
weekend. Every calendar has an id, used in the calendars parameter and in its page address.
| Kind | Id looks like | Examples |
|---|---|---|
exchange |
The exchange’s MIC | XNYS (New York Stock Exchange), XLON, XASX, XSAU (Saudi Exchange) |
settlement |
The currency code | USD (Fedwire / FedACH), EUR (TARGET2), AUD (RITS), SAR (Saudi riyal) |
bond |
SIFMA- and the market |
SIFMA-US, SIFMA-UK, SIFMA-JP |
country |
ISO country code, then region or category | US, AU-NSW, GB-SCT, JP:bank, CA:government |
- A region follows a hyphen (
AU-NSW). A category follows a colon (JP:bankis Japan’s bank holidays,CA:governmentits federal government holidays). - Settlement calendars are built from base calendars with rules:
USDfollows the US federal holidays but stays open on the Friday before a Saturday holiday, as the Federal Reserve does. Each calendar’s page lists its base. - Gulf exchanges are built the same way, from their country’s public holidays plus the exchange’s own notices:
XSAU(Tadawul),XADS(ADX),XDFM(DFM),DSMD(Qatar Stock Exchange),XKUW(Boursa Kuwait),XBAH(Bahrain Bourse) andXMUS(Muscat Stock Exchange). The Gulf currencies areSAR,AED,QAR,KWD,BHDandOMR. - Ids are case-sensitive in the API (
JP:bank). On this site, page addresses are lower case and use a hyphen for the colon (/calendars/jp-bank/).
