Stock Market Holidays 2022: US Markets Will Be Closed On These Days
(CTN News) – Holidays in the stock market are non-weekend business days when the two major U.S. stock exchanges, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq, are closed. Typically, these holidays follow the federal holiday schedule, since they are usually major holidays such as Christmas and Independence Day.
The regular hours of operation for both exchanges are Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. Eastern Time. Markets are closed on weekends.
As is often the case with Good Friday and Easter, if a holiday falls on a weekend, stock markets close on the Friday before the holiday.
