Is the ASX open on Anzac Day?
Yes, but there is some confusion surrounding the day.
The Australian Securities Exchange had previously posted a 2021 reporting dates calendar, showing April 26 as a public holiday/market closed day.
However, the ASX website states the market is closed on Sunday as normal on April 25, the day on which Anzac Day officially falls this year.
The overall confusion about whether or not the ASX is open on Monday likely stems from different states and territories across Australia observing April 26 as a public holiday.

Meanwhile, WA, South Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland and the ACT all have public holidays planned for that day.
Regardless of whether or not you get a public holiday on Monday, the ASX will be open.
