Stock Market Holidays 2026, 2027 & 2028

Stock market holidays 2026

The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq are closed on these days in 2026, and close early at 1:00 pm Eastern Time on the two days marked:

Stock market holidays 2027

In 2027, Juneteenth, Independence Day and Christmas fall on weekends, so the market closes on the nearest weekday instead (marked “observed”).

Stock market holidays 2028

New Year’s Day 2028 falls on a Saturday, and NYSE observes no holiday for it, so the market is open on Friday, December 31, 2027 and Monday, January 3, 2028.

Early-close days

On early-close days, regular trading ends at 1:00 pm ET (1:15 pm for eligible options), and NYSE says the late sessions on its electronic markets end at 5:00 pm ET. These are usually the day after Thanksgiving and, depending on the calendar, Christmas Eve and the day before Independence Day.

Days the stock market is open

Several US public holidays are normal trading days. The stock market is open on:

• Columbus Day / Indigenous Peoples’ Day (second Monday in October)
• Veterans Day (November 11)
• Election Day
• Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, unless listed above as an early close

The US bond market follows a separate calendar and may close or close early on some of these days, so check it separately if you trade bonds.

What still trades on stock market holidays?

• Forex keeps trading, though volume in USD pairs is thinner. See forex market hours.
• Crypto trades every day of the year.
• Futures on CME often run shortened sessions on US holidays rather than closing completely. Check CME’s holiday calendar for exact times.
