Check out this stock market holiday list for 2022 to find out if the market will open on days like Veterans' Day, Christmas Eve and others.
What Are the Holidays in the Market?
The so-called market holiday is any day other than a weekend when the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, or bond markets close on that day. Usually, that holiday is similar to Thanksgiving or Christmas.
On some holidays, or days around it, stock markets remain open, while bond markets remain closed or closed early. At one time, markets were closed on national mourning days, as did the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq in honor of the late president George H.W. Bush in 2018.
If a given holiday occurs on a Saturday, the Friday before it is a stock market holiday. Similarly, markets usually close the following Monday when the holiday season arrives on Sunday.
Regular hours on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq depart from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET from Monday to Friday. Markets are closed on weekends.
