Is the Stock Market Open on Veterans Day?
Yes — U.S. stock markets are open on Veterans Day in 2026.
Veterans Day 2026: Wednesday, November 11, 2026
Yes — U.S. stock markets are open on Veterans Day (November 11). It is a federal holiday, so banks and post offices are closed, but the NYSE and Nasdaq trade a normal full session.
The bond market is the exception: SIFMA recommends a full bond market close on Veterans Day, so Treasuries do not trade even though stocks do.
The NYSE and Nasdaq set their own holiday calendars, which differ from the federal holiday schedule that banks, post offices, and government offices follow.
