Is the market closed on July 3rd? Yes: U.S. financial markets, including the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq and bond markets, will be closed on Friday, July 3, before the Fourth of July holiday. Regular trading will resume on Monday, July 7, while cryptocurrency markets stay open because they trade around the clock.
That one-day closure gives investors a hard cutoff before the holiday weekend. Orders tied to stock and bond markets will need to wait until Monday, July 7, even as digital-asset trading continues without interruption.
Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange
Friday, July 3 is the key date for stock-market users. The New York Stock Exchange will be closed, Nasdaq will be closed, and bond markets will also be shut for the day before the holiday.
Monday, July 7 is the first session back for regular trading. Anyone planning to move positions before the weekend has only the Friday shutdown to work around, not a staggered schedule across the listed markets.
Fourth of July holiday calendar
12 recognized federal holidays include the Fourth of July, and many businesses observe the date on Friday, July 3. Banks are expected to remain open on Friday, although some locations may operate with modified schedules, which means the holiday does not shut every financial service at the same pace.
The U.S. Postal Service will deliver mail as usual on Friday, and post offices will remain open. FedEx locations will have modified hours and service on Friday, while UPS store locations and its Domestic Ground, Air and International service will operate normally on Friday.
Cryptocurrency markets stay open
Cryptocurrency markets will not be affected by the Fourth of July or any federal holidays because they follow 24/7 trading. That creates the clearest split in the holiday schedule: stock and bond markets stop on Friday, July 3, but digital-asset markets keep running.
For readers placing orders, the practical move is simple: treat Friday, July 3 as a market holiday for U.S. stocks and bonds, then plan for regular trading to restart on Monday, July 7.
