Investors wondering if the stock market is closed for the Fourth of July this year will want to keep reading!
The stock market is closed for the Fourth of July. Independence Day is a Federal holiday. That means that the stock markets close, as do government facilities. That includes post offices. This also has banks closing their doors that day.
On top of this, the Fourth of July holiday also affects the day before it. That will see markets close early at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday. However, it doesn’t have any effect on the following day as markets will reopen again on Friday.
It may only be one day, but investors should take time to sit back and enjoy the break on Thursday. That rest and relaxation can prepare them for a busy day when markets reopen on Friday. This is when the June jobs report is set to be released.
