- NYSE, Nasdaq, and bond markets are closed for Presidents Day on Monday, Feb. 16, with trading resuming Tuesday, Feb. 17, per SIFMA's bond-market holiday schedule.
- USPS will not deliver mail and all post-office locations will be closed on the federal holiday.
- FedEx will run modified service on Monday, though FedEx Office retail locations will stay open (some exceptions may apply), and UPS will operate on a full schedule with UPS Store locations also open.
- Most banks follow the Federal Reserve's holiday calendar and are closed, though customers can still use ATMs and mobile-banking apps for deposits, transfers, and withdrawals.
- Nonessential federal government offices are closed, and state government offices generally are as well, since Presidents Day is a federal holiday.
- Schools are typically closed, though some districts may use Presidents Day as a makeup day for weather-related closures, and most retail stores remain open — many running holiday sales on mattresses and home appliances.
Why it matters: Anyone with a time-sensitive mailing, a market order, or an in-person bank task needs to plan around a full Monday shutdown: USPS makes no deliveries, NYSE/Nasdaq and bond markets dark until Tuesday, and most bank branches shutter with only ATMs and apps accessible. FedEx and UPS, by contrast, stay largely operational — so shippers and e-commerce sellers can keep goods moving even on the holiday.
