Labor Day
Labor Day is a federal holiday that commemorates the achievements of American workers. In some regions, schools will also be closed on this day. However, most stores will be open.
This year, the United States Stock Market is closed on Labor Day. While most financial institutions will be closed, ATMs will still be available.
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq Exchange (Nasdaq) will be closed on the holiday. Federal Reserve Banks and post offices will be closed as well.
Some stores and services will operate with reduced hours. However, many retailers will offer special discounts for the holiday.
Black Friday
If you’re a stock market investor, you may have heard of Black Friday. This is a day that can send your stocks soaring or plummeting. It can also be an enticing time to make some money or snag a deal. However, you might be disappointed if you’re not prepared. Here are some tips on how to get the most out of the big shopping day.
Although most people associate Black Friday with sales, the actual amount of sales is not as important as the sales process itself. Instead, it’s the sentiment surrounding Black Friday that can really influence investors.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Many investors may wonder if the stock market will be open on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This is a federal holiday, so most government offices will be closed and non-essential government workers will be off.
The stock market is often closed on holidays. However, some markets will be open on MLK Day. Those include the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq.
Most online brokers allow retail investors to place trades during extended hours. If you need to place a trade on MLK Day, contact your broker or client service team for more details.
Good Friday
Good Friday is a holiday in the United States that commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It falls on the first day of Passover and is observed in various ways by denominations.
For Christians, it marks the first day of their holy week and is an ideal time to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. It is also a joyful time for non-Christians, who may take part in Easter services.
Since 1864, the New York Stock Exchange has been closed on Good Friday. However, three times in 1906, 1907, and 1898, trading was allowed on the exchange.
Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed in the United States. It commemorates the men and women who died while serving in the armed forces. There will be memorial services, parades, and other events.
While the stock market is closed for the day, traders can continue to trade on other days of the week. The Federal Reserve System, which monitors financial markets, observes the holiday. Some fund companies also choose to observe a listed holiday.
The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), an industry trade group, recommends that trading be closed on Monday. However, the New York Stock Exchange is not yet implementing this rule.
New Year’s Day
It’s the end of the year and stock market traders are gearing up for the next calendar year. However, there are still a number of things that investors must keep in mind. For example, it will be a good idea to check the holiday schedule to know when the markets will close.
New Year’s Day is a federal holiday in the United States. Since it falls on a Sunday, the markets are closed that day. In addition, non-essential government offices are also closed. This will also apply to commercial banks.
