Days the stock market stays open
Some federal holidays aren't market holidays. The NYSE and Nasdaq trade normal hours on Columbus Day (Indigenous Peoples' Day) and Veterans Day, even though banks and the bond market close. Good Friday works the other way: it isn't a federal holiday, but the stock market closes.

What happens when a market holiday falls on a weekend?
A Saturday holiday is usually observed on the Friday before and a Sunday holiday on the Monday after. The exception is New Year's Day on a Saturday: the market stays open on the Friday, December 31, because it is the last trading day of the year. That happens next on December 31, 2027.
