Is the Stock Market Open on Memorial Day 2026?

Stock Market Memorial Day 2026 Status

The published 2026 NYSE and Nasdaq calendars list Memorial Day as a full market holiday. Regular stock trading is not scheduled on Monday, May 25, 2026; a brokerage may accept a queued order, but that does not mean it can execute during the closure.

Federal Holiday vs Market Holiday

A federal holiday does not automatically close a stock exchange. Federal offices observe Memorial 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.

Banks, Bond Markets, and Settlement Timing

Many bank branches and Federal Reserve payment services also observe Memorial Day. Bond, futures, and international market calendars can still differ from the NYSE and Nasdaq schedule. Bank availability may affect transfers, deposits, and settlement-related timing.

When Does Regular Trading Resume?

The next regular NYSE and Nasdaq session is expected on Tuesday, May 26, 2026. Confirm the exchange calendar, your broker’s hours, and the schedule for the exact security before placing a time-sensitive order. Bond, futures, options, and international products may use different calendars. This page is not investment advice.
