Is the Stock Market open today? NYSE and Nasdaq hours for Good Friday 2026
Today, Friday, April 3, 2026, the US stock markets including the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq are fully closed in observance of Good Friday. This is not a federal holiday therefore most other sectors of the economy are operating as usual.
While investors will have to wait until Monday, April 6, at 9:30 a.m. ET for trading to resume, the rest of the country remains active.
Banks are largely open for business, as the Federal Reserve is not observing the day as a holiday. Similarly, the US Postal Service is operating normally, meaning mail delivery and package services continue without interruption.
Financial analysts note that the closure creates a unique pause for traders
Reflecting on the market impact, financial analysts note that the closure creates a unique pause for traders.
Kyle Rodda, a senior financial market analyst at Capital.com stated: “The markets could be extra choppy going into the Easter.”
For those looking to manage their accounts, digital banking services remain accessible 24/7, even as physical trading floors remain silent for the holiday.
If someone had pending transactions or specific trading strategies in mind, you will need to wait until the next business day to execute them.
