Wall Street typically closes for major holidays. In 2026, the U.S. stock market will observe 10 holidays, along with two early closure days. Many market holidays coincide with federal holidays and bank closures.

**Is the Stock Market Open Today?** Regular trading hours for U.S. stock markets are from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday. Both the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq follow this schedule and remain closed on weekends.

Investors can still trade stocks and ETFs during extended hours, but this carries additional risks. Lower trading volumes in extended sessions may lead to heightened price volatility, and orders may not fully execute.
