The holiday calendar has Japanese markets open today after a day off on Friday (Showa Day holiday)

Oh, while I'm on Japan, markets there will be closed Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week for more holidays.

Back to today, China is closed for a holiday.

And in the UK, markets there will be closed today also. No, not for Greek Easter, it's the May Bank Holiday long weekend. Oh and speaking of Greek holidays, Mike 'Zorba' Paterson will be on as usual today, giving up his holiday to keep ForexLive traders informed.

Turn this one up, dance around your desk, smash some plates!
