Good Friday holds a unique distinction for financial markets: It’s the only weekday which is not a federal holiday in which bond and stock markets don’t open shop. Bond markets also close for Columbus Day in October and Veterans Day in November.

Along with the above holidays, Good Friday is also observed by the U.S. markets, which means that on Friday, April 18, all major U.S. stock markets will be closed and there will be no trading hours. U.S. bond markets observe the same holiday schedule as the stock market, so they will also be closed on Good Friday 2025.
