Frequently asked questions
What are the stock market holidays in 2026?
The NYSE and Nasdaq are closed on 10 days in 2026: New Year's Day (Jan 1), MLK Day (Jan 19), Presidents' Day (Feb 16), Good Friday (Apr 3), Memorial Day (May 25), Juneteenth (Jun 19), Independence Day (Jul 3), Labor Day (Sep 7), Thanksgiving Day (Nov 26), Christmas Day (Dec 25).
When does the stock market close early in 2026?
The markets close early, at 1:00 p.m. ET, on Friday, November 27 (Day after Thanksgiving (Black Friday)) and Thursday, December 24 (Christmas Eve).
Do the NYSE and Nasdaq have the same holidays?
Yes. Nasdaq follows the same holiday and early-close schedule as the New York Stock Exchange, so US stocks and stock options do not trade on any of these days.
Is the stock market open on Columbus Day and Veterans Day?
Yes — the stock market is open on both, with normal hours. The bond market usually closes on those days, following SIFMA's recommendation, and banks observe the federal holidays.
Can the stock market close on other days?
Yes. The exchanges can close for unscheduled events, such as a national day of mourning — most recently on January 9, 2025, for President Jimmy Carter — or emergencies like Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Those closures are announced only days ahead.
Dates follow the New York Stock Exchange's holiday rules, which Nasdaq shares. Unscheduled closures (for example a national day of mourning) are announced by the exchanges separately. Bond-market hours follow SIFMA's recommendations and can differ. Times are Eastern Time.
