Important Calendar Difference

Stock Market Holidays ≠ Bank Holidays

The calendars overlap, but they are not interchangeable. Good Friday closes NYSE and Nasdaq while it is not a standard Federal Reserve holiday. Columbus Day and Veterans Day leave NYSE/Nasdaq open even though many traditional bank branches close.

Black Friday 2026: 1:00 PM ET Close

Friday, November 27, 2026 is not a full stock-market holiday. Instead, NYSE and Nasdaq schedule a 1:00 PM ET early close. This distinction matters for order deadlines, closing-auction activity and anyone accustomed to the normal 4:00 PM close.

Stock Market Holidays: Before You Trade

Use the annual exchange calendar rather than a generic federal-holiday list. Then check whether the date is a full closure, early close or normal trading day.

Full closureNo regular NYSE/Nasdaq cash-equity session.
Early closeRegular trading ends at 1:00 PM ET instead of 4:00 PM ET on the scheduled 2026 dates.
Bank holidayDo not assume a bank closure means the stock market is closed.
Good FridayDo not assume a non-Federal-Reserve holiday means the stock market is open.
Broker accessExtended-hours availability can still depend on broker rules and exchange notices.

Page updated August 26, 2026. The annual calendar is based on current official NYSE and Nasdaq schedules; check exchange notices for extraordinary changes.
