NOW PLAYINGIs Wall Street Closed On New Year's Day? These Are The 2024 Stock Market Holidays

The Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow industrial indexes have rallied near fresh record highs to start October, following a September rebound. A string of good economic news — including the strong September jobs report and the Federal Reserve's move toward a rate-cut cycle — have put the market in a healthy position as Q3 results kick off. However, the bond markets will take a quick break for the Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples' Day holiday.

The bond markets close on Monday, Oct. 2, then reopen Tuesday to trade normally for the remainder of the week. The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq will remain open.

Here is a look at other upcoming stock market holidays.

What Are Stock Market Holidays?

A so-called market holiday is any nonweekend day when the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, or bond markets close for the day. Usually, that holiday is something like Thanksgiving or Christmas.

On some holidays, or days close to them, the stock markets remain open, while the bond markets stay closed or close early. Sometimes, the markets close for national days of mourning, as the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq did to honor the late president George H.W. Bush in 2018.

If a given holiday happens to take place on Saturday, the Friday before it typically becomes a stock market holiday. Similarly, markets typically close on the following Monday if the holiday lands on a Sunday.

Regular hours for the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq go from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET from Monday to Friday. The markets are closed over the weekends.
