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 Labor Day and Thanksgiving.
Regular operating hours for both exchanges are Monday-Friday from 9:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. ET. 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 the summer wraps up and we head into the fall, check out the updated holiday calendar for the stock and bond markets.
Below is the schedule for 2024 stock market holidays when the NYSE, Nasdaq and bond markets are closed:

July 3, 2024 -- Day before Independence Day
Nov. 29, 2024 -- Day after Thanksgiving
Dec. 24, 2024 -- Christmas Eve
