The US stock market is closed on Monday, September 7, 2026, for Labor Day. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq will not have regular trading today. The stock market will reopen on Tuesday, September 8. Regular trading will return after the Labor Day holiday.
Normal US stock market hours are 9:30 am to 4 pm Eastern time, Monday through Friday. Both the NYSE and Nasdaq follow these regular trading hours.
The NYSE and Nasdaq are closed every weekend. This means investors cannot trade during the normal market session on Saturdays and Sundays. Investors can still place some stock and ETF orders outside regular market hours. Extended-hours trading allows buying and selling before or after the normal session.
However, extended-hours trading comes with extra risks. Trading volume is usually lower after hours, which can make stock prices move more sharply. Orders may also not be completed fully during extended trading. Lower trading activity can make it harder to find a buyer or seller at the price an investor wants.

How holiday dates are observed
Some holidays have a fixed date every year, such as July 4 and Christmas Day. When one of these holidays falls on a Saturday, the stock market generally observes it on the Friday before. If the holiday falls on a Sunday, the market generally observes it on the following Monday.
New Year's Day has one special exception. If January 1 falls on a Saturday, US stock exchanges remain open for regular trading on the Friday before and Wall Street does not observe the holiday on that Friday. US financial markets can also close for a National Day of Mourning after the death of a former or sitting president. This is typically observed on the day of the president's funeral.
What about the bond market?
The bond market follows a different holiday schedule from the stock market. Its schedule is determined by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, also known as SIFMA. Normal bond market hours are 8 am to 5 pm Eastern time, Monday through Friday.
In both 2026 and 2027, bond markets will close for the same 10 stock market holidays. Bond markets will also close for Indigenous Peoples' Day in October. The holiday was formerly known as Columbus Day. Bond markets will also close for Veterans Day in November. The bond market has several additional early-closing days. It will close at 2 pm ET on certain days around major holidays.
