Stock Market Columbus Day 2026 Status
The published 2026 NYSE and Nasdaq holiday calendars do not list Columbus Day as a closure. Because Monday, October 12, 2026 is a weekday, regular U.S. stock trading is scheduled. Check the exchange calendars and any brokerage notice again before the date.
Federal Holiday vs Market Holiday
A federal holiday does not automatically close a stock exchange. Federal offices observe Columbus Day, while the NYSE and Nasdaq use their own published calendars. Bond-market recommendations, futures exchanges, options products, and international markets can also follow schedules different from the main U.S. stock exchanges.
Are Banks Closed While Markets Are Open?
Many bank branches may close for the federal holiday even though NYSE and Nasdaq stock trading is scheduled to continue. Bank availability may affect transfers, deposits, and settlement-related timing.
When Does Regular Trading Resume?
Trading follows the exchanges’ published session for this date. Confirm your broker’s hours and the schedule for the exact security or market involved. Bond, futures, options, and international products may use different calendars. This page is not investment advice.
