US stock market holidays 2027
The days the New York Stock Exchange is closed in 2027, the one early close, what is left of 2026, and the regular hours. Every date is from the NYSE's own calendar, read on 8 November 2026.
The ten market holidays in 2027
Ten. The NYSE is closed on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Washington's Birthday, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. In 2027 three of those fall on a weekend, so the market closes on the nearest weekday instead.
- New Year's Day: Friday 1 January 2027
- Martin Luther King, Jr. Day: Monday 18 January 2027
- Washington's Birthday: Monday 15 February 2027
- Good Friday: Friday 26 March 2027
- Memorial Day: Monday 31 May 2027
- Juneteenth National Independence Day: Friday 18 June 2027 (observed; 19 June is a Saturday)
- Independence Day: Monday 5 July 2027 (observed; 4 July is a Sunday)
- Labor Day: Monday 6 September 2027
- Thanksgiving Day: Thursday 25 November 2027
- Christmas Day: Friday 24 December 2027 (observed; 25 December is a Saturday)
The NYSE publishes these dates itself, and they are the ones to trust if any other list disagrees. Nasdaq and the other US exchanges publish their own calendars, so check those separately if you trade somewhere other than the NYSE.
The early close in 2027
Friday 26 November 2027, the day after Thanksgiving. The NYSE closes at 1:00 pm Eastern Time instead of 4:00 pm. There is no Christmas Eve early close in 2027, because 24 December is already the observed Christmas holiday.
What is left of 2026
Between now and the end of the year the market is closed or closes early on four days:
- Thanksgiving Day: Thursday 26 November 2026, closed
- Day after Thanksgiving: Friday 27 November 2026, closes early at 1:00 pm
- Christmas Eve: Thursday 24 December 2026, closes early at 1:00 pm
- Christmas Day: Friday 25 December 2026, closed
Yes, for a half day. On Thursday 24 December 2026 the NYSE closes at 1:00 pm Eastern Time. It is closed on Friday 25 December 2026.
Regular trading hours
9:30 am to 4:00 pm Eastern Time, Monday to Friday, on every day that is not a holiday. In the UAE that is 6:30 pm to 1:00 am from November to March, and 5:30 pm to midnight from mid-March to early November, because the US moves its clocks and the UAE does not.
On a holiday nothing on this site updates until the next session, because there is nothing to read. On an early-close day today's read covers the shortened session.
What a closed market means for the week
A Monday holiday makes a four-day week, and the Friday before a long weekend often has thinner trading, with fewer shares changing hands. That is a description of volume, not a prediction about prices. To see what actually moved on any trading day, open the daily reads, and for the forces that move prices in general read what moves the stock market.
