Global Stock Market Holidays 2026-2027 & Early Close Guide

Q: Is the stock market open on Black Friday (Day After Thanksgiving, 27 November 2026)?

Yes, but on an abbreviated schedule. On Friday, 27 November 2026 (Black Friday), NYSE and NASDAQ open at 09:30 EST and close early at 13:00 EST (1:00 PM EST), while SIFMA US bond markets close early at 14:00 EST. Because Black Friday is not a Federal Reserve bank holiday, trades executed on Wednesday, 25 November settle on Friday, 27 November under T+1 rules.

When do stock exchanges stay open on statutory bank holidays?

Major securities exchanges frequently diverge from national civil and banking calendars. In the United States, NYSE and NASDAQ remain open on Columbus Day (12 Oct) and Veterans Day (11 Nov) while Federal Reserve banks and SIFMA bond markets close, creating a T+1 settlement pause. Across the Eurozone, Euronext and Xetra close on only 6 to 8 core holidays, remaining open for full equity trading on national holidays such as Bastille Day (14 July), Assumption Day (15 August), and Hispanic Day (12 October).

Critical Equity vs. Bond & Banking Calendar Divergences in 2026–2027

Institutional traders, ETF market makers, and retail investors must watch four recurring calendar mismatches where stock exchanges and central bank settlement rails decouple.

1. US Columbus Day (12 Oct) & Veterans Day (11 Nov)

On both Columbus Day and Veterans Day, NYSE and NASDAQ run full trading sessions, but the Federal Reserve, Fedwire, ACH, and DTC settlement close, and SIFMA recommends a full-day US bond market closure. Under the T+1 settlement cycle, trades executed on these holidays settle on the next open banking day alongside the prior session's trades.

2. Canada Remembrance Day (11 Nov) & Truth and Reconciliation (30 Sep)

In Canada, federally regulated chartered banks and Payments Canada's Lynx rail close on September 30 and November 11, while the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) remains open for regular equity trading because Ontario treats neither date as a general provincial statutory holiday.

3. European Year-End Split (24 Dec & 31 Dec)

On Christmas Eve (Thursday, 24 December 2026) and New Year's Eve (Thursday, 31 December 2026), continental Europe splits into two blocs: Xetra (Germany), SIX (Switzerland), Wiener Börse (Austria), Borsa Italiana (Italy), Warsaw (GPW), Prague (PSE), and Nasdaq Nordic close for the entire day, whereas LSE (UK) and Euronext (Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, Dublin) run shortened morning sessions.

4. India Diwali Muhurat Trading (Sunday, 8 November 2026)

Although main Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) lands on Sunday, 8 November 2026, both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE India open a special ceremonial 1-hour evening Muhurat Trading session to mark the start of Hindu Vikram Samvat Year 2083, with trades settling on the next clearing business day.

Frequently Asked Questions: Stock Exchange Holidays & Early Closes

Is the US stock market open on Columbus Day and Veterans Day in 2026? ▾

Yes. Both the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and NASDAQ remain open for regular trading hours (09:30 to 16:00 EST) on Columbus Day (Monday, 12 October 2026) and Veterans Day (Wednesday, 11 November 2026). However, because the Federal Reserve and DTC settlement rails close on both dates, equity trades experience a one-day T+1 settlement extension, and SIFMA US bond markets close. See our Veterans Day Stock Market & T+1 Guide.

What time do stock markets close on Christmas Eve (24 December 2026) and New Year's Eve (31 December 2026)? ▾

On Thursday, 24 December 2026 (Christmas Eve), NYSE and NASDAQ close early at 13:00 EST, the London Stock Exchange (LSE) closes at 12:30 GMT, Euronext closes at 14:05 CET, and ASX closes at 14:10 AEDT. Meanwhile, Frankfurt Xetra, SIX Swiss Exchange, Wiener Börse, Nasdaq Nordic, and Borsa Italiana close for the entire day on both 24 December and 31 December. See our New Year's Eve Market Hours Guide.

Does the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) still close for typhoons? ▾

No. Following HKEX's Severe Weather Trading reform implemented in September 2024, HKEX securities and derivatives markets remain open for normal electronic trading and clearing during Typhoon Signal No. 8 or above and Black Rainstorm Warnings.

Is the stock market open on Black Friday (Day After Thanksgiving, 27 November 2026)? ▾

Yes, on a half-day schedule. On Friday, 27 November 2026 (Black Friday), NYSE and NASDAQ open at 09:30 EST and close early at 13:00 EST (1:00 PM EST), while SIFMA US bond markets close early at 14:00 EST. Read our Black Friday Bank & Stock Market Schedule.

Why is the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) open on Remembrance Day (11 November) when Canadian banks are closed? ▾

In Canada, chartered banks are federally regulated and close on Remembrance Day (11 November) and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (30 September). However, because Ontario does not designate either date as a general provincial statutory holiday, the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) remains open for trading while Canadian interbank settlement pauses.

When does Diwali Muhurat Trading take place on NSE and BSE India in 2026? ▾

In 2026, main Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) falls on Sunday, 8 November 2026. Although Sunday is a regular weekend market closure, both the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) and BSE India conduct a special ceremonial 1-hour evening Muhurat Trading session on Sunday, 8 November 2026 to mark the start of Vikram Samvat 2083.
