Is the Stock Market Open on New Year's?

Is the stock market open on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day? This year, the answer to that question is no. That's because New Year's Eve falls on a Sunday this year, while New Year's Day is always a stock market holiday. 

Typically, the stock market is open on December 31 if it falls on a weekday and is closed on January 1. 

Bond traders will get even more time off to celebrate. That's because the bond market will not only be closed on Monday, January 1, for New Year's Day, but it will also close early on Friday, December 29, 2023, at 2 pm Eastern time.

Are banks open on New Year's Eve in 2023? The answer to that question is no. Banks will not be open on New Year's Eve because it falls on a Sunday in 2023, and most banks are generally closed on Sundays. However, like the stock and bond markets, banks will also be closed on Monday, January 1, in observance of the New Year's Day holiday.

Below, we feature a full schedule of all stock market and bond market holidays for 2024. Please note that the list of stock market holidays actually grew by one day in 2022. That's because Congress voted in 2021 to make Juneteenth – the June 19 holiday commemorating the end of slavery – the 12th federal holiday. When President Joe Biden signed the bill, Juneteenth became the first new federal holiday since Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, which was signed into law in 1983 by then President Ronald Reagan.
