NYSE Holidays
The NYSE holidays schedule 2021 details the days and times the stock market is closed throughout the year, such as on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Christmas. We also provide New York Stock Exchange trading hours for each tape and session.
Certainly, nothing is worse than owning a short-term position overnight, only to find out the stock market is closed the next day. We’ve got you covered to ensure your trading plan aligns to the NYSE schedule.
So is the stock market closed today? Find out below!
| Holiday | Date | Status |

| New Year’s Day | Friday, January 1 | Closed |
| Martin Luther King, Jr. Day | Monday, January 18 | Closed |

The NYSE may also be closed due to unforeseen circumstances, such as technical/system failures, extraordinary market volatility, natural disasters, wars, and more.
For example, if a President of the United States dies, then the NYSE will select a day of mourning (typically the day of the funeral) to be closed. This occurred in 2018, when President Trump declared the market closed on December 5, 2018 to mourn the passing of President George H.W. Bush.
