When Do Markets Close For Good Friday?

FYI: Easter comes early this year, and U.S. financial markets will be closed on Good Friday, which falls on March 25, while U.K. and some continental markets will be closed for Easter Monday as well.
Regards,
Ted

  • They close on Good Friday for as long as we have separation of church and state. LOL

    Interestingly, most banks and the U.S. Post office remain open today, Good Friday. Mail delivery as usual. It is not a Federal Holiday. NYSE sets its own calander.

    Stock markets are closed. So any market predictions made Thursday will remain correct for an additional day.
  • I am working today and my employer does not considered Good Friday is a holiday. Other public services are all working today. Same goes for Halloween.
  • Years ago, I worked for a large company with major locations on the east coast and in Illinois. It considered Lincoln's birthday a regional holiday, so it only gave the day off in some locations - the ones outside the Land of Lincoln.

    While federally chartered banks are open, some state charted banks may be closed, as Good Friday is a state holiday in Conn., Del., Guam, Hawaii, Ind., Ky. (half day), La., N.J., N.C., N.D., P.R., Tenn.

    Don't ask for rhyme or reason here. It just makes a great workday to run errands with so many people off the road.
