Good Friday 2019 marks the annual Wall Street tradition of closing the markets for this day. We list the stock and bond trading schedule here.
WASHINGTON. Trading news for investors today: There is no news. Good Friday 2019 marks the longstanding Wall Street tradition of closing the markets in deference to Good Friday. The stock and bond trading schedule and settlement dates are altered accordingly, as occurs during official national holidays. And most banks across the U. S. will close as well, or observe shorter hours.
I continue to marvel that this tradition still stands. With the entire government bureaucracy doing its level best to banish organized religion, and especially Christianity, from the public sphere, the Good Friday trading halt somehow persists, even on Wall Street: Ground zero for rapacious and godless capitalism.
