In 2027 Christmas falls on a Saturday, so the market is closed on Friday, December 24 instead. New Year’s Day 2028 falls on a Saturday, and under NYSE rules the market does not close on the preceding Friday (December 31, 2027).
Federal holidays when the stock market is open
Two federal holidays are not stock market holidays: Columbus Day / Indigenous Peoples’ Day (Oct 12, 2026) and Veterans Day (Nov 11, 2026). Stocks trade normally on both days, but the bond market follows SIFMA’s recommendation to close and banks are shut. Read more in our Columbus Day 2026 guide.
How weekend holidays are handled
- If a holiday falls on a Saturday, the market usually closes on the preceding Friday (for example Independence Day 2026 is observed on Friday, July 3).
- If a holiday falls on a Sunday, the market closes on the following Monday (Independence Day 2027 is observed on Monday, July 5).
- The exception is New Year’s Day on a Saturday, when the market stays open on the Friday before, because that day is the last trading day of the year.
What about pre-market and after-hours?
On full holidays there is no extended-hours trading either. On 1:00 p.m. early-close days, after-hours sessions also end early — typically at 5:00 p.m. ET — though exact cut-offs depend on your broker.
