Stock market holidays are non-weekend business days when the two major U.S. stock exchanges, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq, are closed for the day. These days often closely follow federal holiday schedules and include major holidays like Independence Day and Thanksgiving.

Regular operating hours for both exchanges are Monday-Friday from 9:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. ET, although there are various ways to trade stocks 24 hours a day. Markets do not operate during the weekend.

Sometimes, if a holiday falls on a weekend, stock markets will close on the Friday prior to the holiday, as is often the case with Good Friday and Easter. Other times, a holiday will be observed on a Monday after it occurs.

As investors run head first into the middle of summer vacation with Independence Day festivities, here’s the updated holiday calendar for the stock and bond markets.

Early stock market closures

The stock market generally follows its holiday schedule without any additional early closures, with the exception of the day before Independence Day, Black Friday and Christmas Eve, when the Nasdaq and NYSE close at 1 p.m. ET.
