Banks and the stock market do not follow the federal list exactly. Federal Reserve Banks close on the same days as federal offices, with one exception. When a holiday falls on a Saturday, they stay open on the Friday before. In 2026 that happens once, on Friday, July 3, 2026 (Independence Day).

The New York Stock Exchange closes on 10 weekdays in 2026. It trades as usual on Columbus Day and Veterans Day, when banks are shut. It also closes on Good Friday, Friday, April 3, 2026, which is not a federal holiday. Trading ends early, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern time, on Friday, November 27, 2026 and Thursday, December 24, 2026.
