Is the stock market open on Good Friday? The answer to this question is no. The stock market will be closed this Friday, April 18, for Good Friday.
Bond traders will get the day off, too, and then some. Not only is the bond market closed for Good Friday, but it closes early at 2 pm Eastern on Thursday, April 17, for Maundy Thursday.
For those wondering what time does the market open for regular trading hours, both the Nasdaq Stock Market and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) run from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm Eastern time Monday through Friday.
While Good Friday is a stock market holiday, it is not a federal holiday. So for those wondering "Are banks open on Good Friday?," the answer to that question is yes. Friday, April 18, is not one of the 11 bank holidays in 2025, and so banks will be open on Good Friday.
Banks will be closed on Easter Sunday, though this is because they are generally closed every Sunday. Several retailers have recently announced that they will be closed on Easter Sunday, as well, including Lowe's.
Lowe's CEO Mark Ellison said the home improvement retailer is closing all of its 1,700 stores for the entirety of Easter Sunday in order to give its team "a well-deserved day off so they can spend Easter with their loved ones."
