United States stock markets observe several holidays on the American calendar, including Memorial Day and Christmas.

Ahead of Easter Sunday 2026, here’s what to know about trading dates during Holy Week.

U.S. stock markets, including the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange, will be closed on Friday, April 3, in observance of Good Friday.

Markets will reopen on Monday, April 6.

Ahead of the holiday, the U.S. bond market will close at 1 p.m. CT on Thursday, April 2, as markets are slated to close early.
