In the United States, both major stock exchanges\u2014the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq\u2014have specific hours that vary slightly during holiday seasons. On New Year\u2019s Eve, these markets typically close early at 1 p.m. Eastern Time (ET). This early closure allows traders to wrap up their business before heading out to join friends and family in welcoming the new year.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s important to note that while most businesses operate under regular schedules leading up to January 1st, financial markets often adjust their hours around holidays like Christmas and New Year\u2019s Day. For instance, they will also be closed entirely on January 1st as it is a federal holiday.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re involved in trading or investing\u2014and let\u2019s face it; even casual observers can find themselves checking stocks from time to time\u2014it pays off to keep track of these changes.
