Stock market hours on Veterans Day 2026, Digi Mart USA News: The stock market will be open on Wednesday, Nov. 11, which is Veterans Day. The bond market and banks are typically closed on this day.
In 2026, the stock market will observe 10 holidays, including two early closings. Many stock market holidays are also federal holidays and banking holidays.
The U.S. stock market’s regular hours are 9:30 a.m.
to 4 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday.
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq both observe these trading hours, and both are closed on weekends.
Investors can still place orders to buy and sell stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) during extended trading hours, but there is added risk. Trading volume is lighter after hours, so prices can be more volatile, and orders may not execute fully.
The NYSE and Nasdaq will observe the following holidays in 2026: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Day on Monday, Jan. 19; Washington’s Birthday, also known as Presidents’ Day, on Monday, Feb. 16; and Juneteenth National Independence Day on Friday, June 19.

Eastern time on Friday, Nov. 26, the day after Thanksgiving.
For holidays that fall on the same date each year, such as the Fourth of July and Christmas Day, the stock market is closed the preceding Friday if the holiday falls on a Saturday, or the following Monday if it falls on a Sunday. If New Year’s Day falls on a Saturday, exchanges remain open for regular hours the preceding Friday, and the holiday is simply not observed by Wall Street.
Most American financial markets also close for a National Day of Mourning following the death of a past or sitting president, typically on the day the funeral is held.
The bond market’s schedule is set by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA). Normal bond market hours are 8 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday.
In 2026 and 2027, bond markets close for all 10 stock market holidays, as well as Indigenous Peoples Day (formerly Columbus Day) in October and Veterans Day in November.
The stock market generally operates as usual on other holidays unless they fall on a weekend. Cryptocurrency markets do not follow a holiday schedule, as cryptocurrency trades through a decentralized network of computers rather than central exchanges, and can be traded 24/7/365.
