U.S. Markets Observe Shortened Trading Hours for Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays
Traders will see reduced activity this week as U.S. stock and bond markets close for Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 27. Equity markets reopen Friday with an early close at 1 p.m. ET, while fixed-income trading concludes at 2 p.m. ET.
The holiday pattern repeats in December. Markets will operate on shortened schedules for Christmas Eve (December 24) and remain closed for Christmas Day. New Year's follows a similar cadence—full trading on December 31 except for bonds closing early, with complete closures on January 1.
