(Further below are calendars for future years 2024–25, as well as calendars for past years 2016–22).
Colored days indicate the stock exchanges are closed or have truncated trading sessions. The weekend days of Saturday and Sunday are in pink. Holidays and special market hour days are in blue. Non-colored days indicate the exchanges are open for trading.
Regular market hours are 9:30am–4:00pm EST. Short sessions end at 1:00pm EST.
Stock market holiday data can be found below each calendar (and listed separately). To the right of each calendar are the number of trading days and hours in that month and quarter.
For example: November 2023 has one full holiday (Thanksgiving Day), a short session on November 24 where the markets close early, and 20 regular trading sessions. With 6.5 trading hours on regular days and 3.5 on short days, there are a total of 133.5 trading hours for that month.
Stock market holidays are the same for the NYSE and NASDAQ.

Did you know?
Historically speaking, the regular trading session of 9:30am–4:00pm is fairly new. Stock market trading hours actually varied quite a bit over the centuries. Here are some of the highlights.
When the NYSE was first formed in 1792, there were two "call trading" sessions – one in the morning and one in the afternoon – where an official called out stocks for brokers to trade in turn.
Call trading lasted for nearly eight decades, until 1871 when continuous trading first arrived. From now on, trading sessions would begin promptly at 10:00am Monday through Saturday. But curiously, they could end any time between 2:00 and 4:00pm.
It was only in 1887 that set hours were first established. Brokers could trade stocks between the hours of 10:00am–3:00pm Monday through Friday, and 10:00am–12:00pm on Saturday.
Evidently, trading six days a week became too arduous. So the Saturday trading session was dropped in 1952, giving traders their first two-day weekend. But then again, since M–F trading would now end at 3:30pm, with the same morning start time the total number of trading hours in a given week actually increased slightly.
In 1974, an additional half-hour was tacked on to the end of the regular M–F trading session. Traders now finished work at 4:00pm.
Finally, yet another half-hour of trading was added in 1985. This last change moved the start time up to 9:30am, where it remains today.
This means there are 32.5 trading hours in a typical week. If you're a stock trader, you know these hours can be pretty intense. But take solace in the fact that this is still significantly lower than the 41.5 hours the typical American works each week!
