No activity

I have no idea is this has any meaning but thought it was interesting. The CBI has not updated or had a currency auction for two days. The last activity showing on the website was on the 29th. I have not seen any articles stating the bank is closed.

Has anyone else seen any reference to the bank being closed and if so why?

The CBI is closed for Eid-Al-Fitr, starting yesterday, and reopening on the 4th or 5th...I'll try and find the article....

here's a CBI link--scroll to the bottom for their bank holidays..says 3 days for Eid, starting on 8-31-11...

Thanks Gente, I knew someone would have the answer. SO, HMMMMM--bank is closed for three days which is Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, then closed for another two days, sounds like a good day for activity.

I'm hopin....

Eid falls randomly each year on our calendar due to the fact that Muslims follow a lunar calendar when observing religious events...Last year Eid was on Sept. 10th...don't think the CBI closure is anything special, but I would love to be wrong!
