Understanding Market Operations on Veterans Day
Market Hours on Veterans Day
On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, U.S. stock markets will remain operational in observance of Veterans Day. This federal holiday, dedicated to honoring military veterans, has specific implications for various financial sectors.
Stock Markets vs. Bond Markets
Both the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq will conduct regular trading sessions during Veterans Day. In contrast, the bond markets will close, marking a significant distinction in market operations.
Bank Operations
In addition to bond markets, most bank branches will also be closed for the holiday. This closure reflects a nationwide recognition of Veterans Day and its importance.
