Traders get a break this week after a busy stretch in markets.

U.S. stock and bond markets are closed Thursday, Nov. 27, for Thanksgiving Day. Trading picks up again Friday—or Black Friday, if you prefer—but the days are shortened: The stock market closes at 1 p.m., while the bond market is set to close at 2 p.m.

The next trading breaks come around the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.

The stock market will close at 1 p.m., and the bond market at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 24, for Christmas Eve, and remain closed through the holiday on Dec. 25.

Both markets are closed on Jan. 1, 2026, for New Year’s Day. Stock traders have a full day on New Year’s Eve, but bond trading ends at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 31.
