Is the Stock Market Open on Thanksgiving?
No — U.S. stock markets are closed on Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving 2026: Thursday, November 26, 2026
U.S. stock markets are closed on Thanksgiving Day, the fourth Thursday of November.
The following day (Black Friday), markets are open but close early at 1:00 p.m. ET.
Because Thanksgiving is pinned to the fourth Thursday, its date ranges only from November 22 to 28, and the holiday always produces the same shape of week: full sessions Monday through Wednesday, closed Thursday, and a half day Friday.
The U.S. bond market is also closed, per SIFMA's recommended holiday schedule.
