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.
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. http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0002069.html
Don't ask for rhyme or reason here. It just makes a great workday to run errands with so many people off the road.
