Wondering “is stock market closed on veterans day”? The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq are scheduled to trade normal hours on November 11, 2026, with standard core sessions in place rather than a holiday closure.
The NYSE’s official Holidays & Trading Hours page lists the 2026 trading calendar and shows its core trading session runs 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET, with Veterans Day not listed as an exchange holiday for 2026.
Nasdaq’s trader calendar likewise publishes the U.S. equity market holiday schedule for 2026 and does not mark November 11 as a closed holiday; Nasdaq-listed markets follow the regular trading schedule unless an alert states otherwise.
That means retail and institutional investors can expect regular hours for order entry, market opens, and settlements on Veterans Day. Normal premarket, opening auction, core session and closing auction procedures apply under each exchange’s posted hours.
How the exchanges list holidays and hours
Both the NYSE and Nasdaq publish formal holiday and hours calendars that name closures and early‑close days. The NYSE calendar shows core sessions and options/bond windows and lists explicit holiday dates for 2026; Nasdaq’s trader calendar provides the U.S. holiday status for listed markets in 2026.
If a rare operational change occurs — a declared market holiday, emergency closure or an early close — exchanges issue customer alerts and updates on their trading calendars and news feeds. Absent such an alert, published calendars are the authoritative schedule.
Investors who need market-specific cutoffs (for example, options, bonds or certain extended sessions) should check the NYSE and Nasdaq trading hours pages or their broker’s notices before placing time‑sensitive orders.
