Answer 1

Because stock brokers like to have a bit of time off from one of the most stressful jobs.

Saturday is technically not in the working week.

Answer 2

In some religions, Saturday is the sabbath, while Sunday is the Sabbath in others.

In the United States we use a forty hour work week, which is 8 hours Monday thru Friday.

Traditionally, Banks, government agencies, and most companies close on Saturday & Sunday.

Most world exchanges followed the policy & procedures of the US exchanges when they were established, therefore no Saturday & Sundays,

Many world exchanges were established by Americans or American companies
