Ring in the New Year with a Heads Up on Market Hours
As the clock ticks down to 2025, investors and traders are wondering: will the stock market be open on New Year’s Eve? The answer is yes, but with some caveats.
Regular Trading Sessions on December 31
Both the Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange will operate on a regular schedule on Tuesday, December 31, allowing investors to make last-minute trades before the year comes to a close.
Early Closure for Bond Markets
However, the U.S. bond markets will shut their doors early, with trading ceasing at 2 p.m. ET on December 31. This marks the beginning of a brief hiatus, as bond markets will remain closed on New Year’s Day.
First Trading Day of 2025
The wait won’t be long, though. The first day of trading in the new year is set for Thursday, January 2, 2025.
Mark Your Calendars: Upcoming Market Closures
Looking ahead, the next scheduled market closure will take place on Monday, January 20, 2025, in observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Make sure to plan your investments accordingly.
