Stock Market Holidays: Trump's Plan For The Presidents Day Break

Wall Street will take a break on Monday as the stock and bond markets close to commemorate the Presidents Day holiday. The break will give the market a chance to catch its breath amid another busy earnings season.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average and major stock indexes were mixed Friday, following a cooler-than-expected January consumer price index inflation report. IBD has reduced its stock market exposure recommendation to 40% to 60% invested as the S&P 500 has fallen below its 50-day moving average.

						Is Wall Street Closed On New Year's Day? These Are The 2026 Stock Market Holidays

President Donald Trump plans to spend the holiday hunkering down at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, according to local reports, ahead of a potential Supreme Court ruling on tariffs next Friday.

The Federal Aviation Administration issued temporary flight restrictions over Palm Beach from Friday through Monday, the Palm Beach Daily News reported, while South Ocean Boulevard next to the private club closed this morning.

The President’s visit, which marks his 21st since returning to office, effectively cuts the island in half and requires a slew of security measures and schedule alterations.

While U.S. markets will be closed on Monday, other exchanges around the world will be open. Dow Jones futures will still open on Sunday evening and trade normally on Monday.

What Is A Stock Market Holiday?

A so-called market holiday is any nonweekend day when the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq, or bond markets close for the day. Usually, that holiday is something like Thanksgiving or Christmas.

On some holidays, or days close to them, the stock markets remain open, while the bond markets stay closed or close early. Sometimes, the markets close for national days of mourning, as the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq did to honor the late president George H.W. Bush in 2018.

If a given holiday happens to take place on Saturday, the Friday before it typically becomes a stock market holiday. Similarly, markets typically close on the following Monday if the holiday lands on a Sunday.

Regular hours for the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq go from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET from Monday to Friday. The markets are closed over the weekends.

Here is a quick look at other stock market holidays for 2026.
