The NYSE and Nasdaq both close early on Christmas Eve and will remain closed until after the Christmas holiday.
Money may never sleep, but the Stock Market does—at least on Christmas Day. As noted on its website, the New York Stock Exchange will observe Christmas Day on Friday and the markets will be closed. December 25 also has two asterisks next to the date, which indicate that the markets will close early on Christmas Eve. Those looking to get last-minute trading in before eating their Christmas ham will need to do so before the early afternoon. «Each market will close early at 1:00 p.m. (1:15 p.m. for eligible options) on Thursday, December 24,2020. Crossing Session orders will be accepted beginning at 1:00 p.m. for continuous executions until 1:30 p.m. on this date, and NYSE American Equities, NYSE Arca Equities, NYSE Chicago, and NYSE National late trading sessions will close at 5:00 pm.
