On early-close days the market closes at 1:00 p.m. ET, and at 1:15 p.m. for eligible options. The live check above converts the opening and closing bell to your time zone, and it follows daylight saving time in New York: US clocks change on November 1, 2026 and March 14, 2027, and the bell stays at 9:30 a.m. New York time either way.

Questions, answered

Stock market hours and holidays: common questions.

The box at the top of this page checks the current time in New York against the NYSE holiday and early-close schedule. On a regular weekday that is not a market holiday, the NYSE core session runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
The NYSE core trading session runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET, Monday to Friday, except market holidays. On early-close days the market closes at 1:00 p.m. ET (1:15 p.m. for eligible options). Trading before and after those hours exists, but the hours depend on the exchange and on your broker.
No. The stock market closes on Good Friday even though it is not a federal holiday: Friday, April 3, 2026, Friday, March 26, 2027 and Friday, April 14, 2028. Banks are open on Good Friday.
Yes. Neither is on the NYSE holiday list, so the market is open on Columbus Day (Monday, October 12, 2026) and Veterans Day (Wednesday, November 11, 2026). Banks are closed on both days because the Federal Reserve observes them.
It is open but closes early, at 1:00 p.m. ET, on the day after Thanksgiving (Friday, November 27, 2026) and on Christmas Eve (Thursday, December 24, 2026). In 2027 the day after Thanksgiving is an early close too, but Friday, December 24, 2027 is a full closure, because Christmas falls on a Saturday.
The NYSE dates show the pattern: a holiday on a Saturday closes the market on the Friday before (Independence Day 2026 on July 3; Juneteenth and Christmas 2027 on June 18 and December 24), and a holiday on a Sunday closes it on the Monday after (Independence Day 2027 on July 5). New Year's Day 2028 is the exception: it falls on a Saturday and no day is taken off for it.
For 2026, yes: Nasdaq's official holiday schedule lists the same closures and the same 1:00 p.m. early closes as the NYSE. Nasdaq's calendar currently covers 2026 only, so the 2027 and 2028 dates on this page are the NYSE's.
