No. The NYSE and Nasdaq are closed on Good Friday, April 3, 2026, even though it is not a federal holiday. CME equity index futures traded an abbreviated session that morning, because the March jobs report was released the same day. ### Is the stock market open the day after Thanksgiving 2026?

Columbus Day (October 12, 2026) and Veterans Day (November 11, 2026) are federal holidays but not NYSE or Nasdaq holidays, so stocks trade a normal 9:30 am to 4:00 pm ET session. CME futures also settle at normal times on both days. ### Is the stock market open on July 3, 2026? No. Independence Day, July 4, 2026, falls on a Saturday, so the NYSE and Nasdaq observe it on Friday, July 3. ### How many days is the stock market closed in 2026? 10 weekdays, plus every Saturday and Sunday.
