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 Memorial 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.
With summer vacation season here, 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:

Nov. 29, 2024 -- Day after Thanksgiving
