The Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Dow industrial indexes ended 2024 on a high note, then began a sharp pullback in the New Year which accelerated amid President Donald Trump's tariff rollout in April.
Heading into the summer, the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 have entered a power trend, signifying an especially strong market rally. IBD has since ratcheted up its market outlook to 80% to 100% invested. However, there are still points for caution as Moody's on May 19 downgraded the U.S. debt rating from the top-level Aaa to Aa1. That means it's important to know when the market is due for a holiday.
The next market holiday is Juneteenth, which falls on Thursday, June 19. The following break for Wall Street will fall on Thursday, July 3, when the markets close early for Independence Day on July 4.
Here is a look at other upcoming stock market holidays.
What Are Stock Market Holidays?
A so-called market holiday is any nonweekend day when the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, or bond markets close for the day. Usually, that holiday is something like Thanksgiving or Christmas.
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 New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq did to honor the late president George H.W. Bush in 2018.
If a given holiday happens to take place on Saturday, the Friday before it typically becomes a stock market holiday. Similarly, markets typically close on the following Monday if the holiday lands on a Sunday.
Regular hours for the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq go from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET from Monday to Friday. The markets are closed over the weekends.
