U.S. Stock Market Closed for Thanksgiving Day on November 27, 2025

Market Observes National Holiday

The U.S. stock market, encompassing major exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq, was closed on Thursday, November 27, 2025, in observance of Thanksgiving Day. This full-day closure is a standard annual practice, allowing traders and investors to pause for the national holiday. No regular trading, including equities, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), or options, took place on this day. The U.S. bond market also remained closed.

Shortened Trading on Black Friday

Following the Thanksgiving holiday, the stock market is scheduled to reopen on Friday, November 28, 2025, for a shortened trading session. Both the NYSE and Nasdaq will operate from their usual opening time of 9:30 a.m. ET but will close early at 1 p.m. ET. This early closure on the day after Thanksgiving, commonly known as Black Friday, is a long-standing tradition.

Impact of Holiday Trading Hours

The shortened trading hours on Black Friday often lead to lighter trading volumes, which can potentially result in increased price volatility. Investors frequently adjust their strategies in anticipation of these holiday periods to manage portfolios effectively and capitalize on any short-session opportunities. The U.S. bond market will also close early on November 28, 2025, at 2 p.m. ET.

Resumption of Normal Operations

Normal trading hours for both the NYSE and Nasdaq, from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET, are expected to resume on Monday, December 1, 2025. Investors are advised to be aware of holiday schedules as they can impact liquidity, volatility, and settlement times.
