How weekend holidays are handled

When a fixed-date holiday falls on a Saturday, the market closes the Friday before; when it falls on a Sunday, the market closes the following Monday. The one exception is New Year's Day on a Saturday — no substitute day is observed, and trading simply resumes Monday.

Early-close sessions (1:00 p.m. ET) typically occur on July 3, the day after Thanksgiving, and Christmas Eve — but only when those dates land on a weekday.

Stock market vs. bank and bond market holidays

The exchange calendar is not the same as the federal holiday calendar. Stocks trade normally on Columbus Day and Veterans Day even though banks, post offices, and the bond market are closed. The reverse is also true: markets close for Good Friday, which is not a federal holiday at all. The bond market follows SIFMA's recommended schedule, which adds those two extra closures and several early closes beyond what the stock exchanges observe.
