Nominal Day definition
Nominal Day. Any calendar day without regard to whether the bond market is open or not. Nominal Payment Dates (or Coupon Dates or Coupon Due Dates): The dates on which coupons are scheduled to be paid. This day is used to calculate the accrued interest due to the holder. If the nominal payment date falls on a non-market day, the actual coupon payment is usually on the next market day.
