Stock Market Holidays 2028

The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq are closed on 9 days in 2028 and close early at 1:00 p.m. ET on 2 days. That leaves 251 trading days. The next closure is highlighted, and every holiday links to the full answer for that day, including what the bond, options and futures markets do.

Note for 2028: No New Year's Day holiday is observed in 2028 because January 1, 2028 falls on a Saturday; the exchange does not close the preceding Friday.

How the NYSE sets its holidays

The exchange observes nine fixed holidays plus Good Friday. Four are Monday holidays by law (Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day) and Thanksgiving is always a Thursday. The date-based ones, New Year's Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day and Christmas, move to Friday when they fall on a Saturday and to Monday when they fall on a Sunday, with one exception: a Saturday New Year's Day is not observed at all, so the market trades on the preceding Friday.

Early closes are not holidays. The market opens at the normal 9:30 a.m. ET and rings the closing bell at 1:00 p.m. ET. They happen on the day after Thanksgiving every year, on Christmas Eve when it is a weekday that precedes the holiday, and on July 3 when it is a weekday that precedes a weekday July 4.

Two federal holidays are missing from the list on purpose. The NYSE has never closed for Columbus Day or Veterans Day; the bond market, which depends on the Federal Reserve's settlement systems, closes on both.
