Is the Stock Market Open on Labor Day?
No — U.S. stock markets are closed on Labor Day.
Labor Day 2026: Monday, September 7, 2026
U.S. stock markets are closed on Labor Day, observed on the first Monday of September. It is a full market holiday on both the NYSE and Nasdaq.
Labor Day marks the start of the longest holiday-free stretch on the market calendar: there are no scheduled closures in September or October, so the next full holiday after it is Thanksgiving, nearly three months later.
The U.S. bond market is also closed, per SIFMA's recommended holiday schedule.
