US Markets to Close Monday for Labor Day Holiday
U.S. financial markets will be closed on Monday, September 7, in observance of the Labor Day holiday. Normal trading schedules are set to resume on Tuesday, September 8.
Equity and Bond Market Closures
All U.S. stock exchanges, including the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, will be shut for the day. The U.S. bond market will also be closed, in line with recommendations from the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA).
The closure provides a break for market participants after a full week of trading and ahead of the shortened trading week to follow.
Abbreviated Futures Schedule
While cash equity and bond markets are closed, several major futures markets will operate on a shortened trading day. According to exchange calendars, commodity and equity index futures will halt trading early on Monday.
AdKey early closures include:
- CME Group: U.S. stock index futures contracts will halt trading at 1:00 PM ET. Precious metals and WTI crude oil futures will conclude trading at 2:30 PM ET.
- Intercontinental Exchange (ICE): Brent crude oil futures contracts will settle early, at 1:30 PM ET.
Implications for Investors
The holiday closure will result in a four-day trading week. Investors should be aware that trading volumes are often lighter on the sessions immediately preceding and following a market holiday, which can sometimes lead to increased short-term volatility.
