The stock market experienced a confirmed uptrend in early November as a result of a temporary pause on Federal Reserve interest rate hikes, as well as positive economic data, and a favorable jobs report.
The stock market will be closed on Thursday, Nov. 24 for Thanksgiving, with futures trading normally. Both the stock and bond markets will also close early on Black Friday, setting the stage for the upcoming holiday season.
What Are Stock Market Holidays?
A market holiday refers to any nonweekend day when the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, or bond markets are closed. Typically, market holidays coincide with national holidays such as Thanksgiving or Christmas.
On certain holidays or days near these holidays, the stock markets may remain open while the bond markets close early or remain closed. Markets may also close on national days of mourning; the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq closed in honor of late President George H.W. Bush in 2018.
If a holiday falls on a Saturday, the preceding Friday typically becomes a stock market holiday, and markets may close on the following Monday if the holiday falls on a Sunday.
Regular trading hours for the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq are from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET from Monday to Friday, and markets are closed on weekends.
