- NYSE will be closed on April 3, 2026 (Good Friday), halting equity trading on Wall Street.
- Nasdaq will also be closed on April 3, 2026 (Good Friday), mirroring the NYSE shutdown.
- U.S. will publish its monthly jobs report on Good Friday despite equity markets being closed.
- U.S. bond markets will operate on a shortened schedule, closing early on Good Friday while other parts of the financial system remain functional.
- U.S. markets will reopen for regular trading on Monday, April 6, 2026, while many global peers observe Easter Monday as a holiday.
- India' investors will experience a synchronized pause as both US and Indian markets close on Good Friday, but may face heightened volatility when US markets resume on April 6.
- Wall Street experiences a complete halt in equity trading on Good Friday, a rare non‑federal holiday shutdown rooted in tradition.
Why it matters: The synchronized market pause for Indian and other global investors means they cannot react to the U.S. jobs report until markets reopen, while the data’s release during the shutdown raises the likelihood of sharp price swings on April 6, affecting short‑term trading strategies.
