Is the stock market open on Good Friday and Easter Monday?
Why it matters: Investors should note the U.S. stock market's Good Friday closure in 2026 to plan trades around the holiday.
- The U.S. stock market and bond market will be closed on Good Friday in 2026, observing a total of 10 holidays and two early closures throughout the year.
- The market will reopen on Monday, March 31, 2026, for regular trading hours (9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern time).
- Some international markets will remain closed for Easter Monday, even as U.S. exchanges like the NYSE and Nasdaq resume operations.
In 2026, the U.S. stock market will close for Good Friday, aligning with many federal and banking holidays, but will reopen on the subsequent Monday. While U.S. markets resume trading, some international markets will remain closed for Easter Monday, highlighting a divergence in holiday observance.
