NYSE Holidays 2022

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is a stock exchange located in New York, United States with a market cap of $24.23 trillion.

Regular hours for the NYSE go from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET from Monday to Friday.

The market is closed for twelve market holidays per year. This is any non-weekend day that the NYSE or bond markets close for the day. Usually, that holiday is Christmas or New Year’s.

On some holidays, or days close to them, the stock markets remain open, while the bond markets stay closed or close early. Sometimes, the markets close for national days of mourning, as the NYSE did to honor the late former president of the United States, George H.W. Bush in December 2018. The NYSE may also be closed due to some unforeseen circumstances, such as technical or system failures, extraordinary market volatility and natural disasters.

All NYSE markets observe U.S. holidays as listed below for 2019. All holidays listed are the observed date, not the actual date. For example, if Christmas Day falls on a weekend many stock exchanges will close on the Friday before or the Monday after. Exchanges sometimes close on multiple days for a holiday or have modified hours instead of fully closing.
