Stock Market Presidents Day 2026 Status
The published 2026 NYSE and Nasdaq calendars list Presidents Day as a full market holiday. Regular stock trading is not scheduled on Monday, February 16, 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 Presidents 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 Presidents 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, February 17, 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.
