U.S. stock market open normal hours on Veterans Day 2026; bond market closed
The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq will operate regular trading hours on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, while the U.S. bond market closes for the federal holiday. Equity investors can trade stocks as usual, but fixed-income markets will be shut, creating a split schedule that affects portfolio rebalancing and liquidity for Treasury securities.
Why it matters
Veterans Day is a federal holiday observed each November 11. Historically, the equity markets have remained open while the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) recommends closing the bond market. This divergence means equity traders face normal volumes and volatility, but bond traders must settle positions a day earlier or wait until Thursday.
