Are stock markets and banks closed on Juneteenth? Last year, Juneteenth was declared a federal holiday for the first time. But because of how close the declaration was made to the actual holiday, a lot of federal services still operated. What’s happening this year on Monday, June 20, 2022? Are banks or the stock market open or closed in observance of Juneteenth today? Although Juneteenth technically is on June 19, that date fell on a Sunday this year. Because of that, Juneteenth is being officially observed by the federal government on Monday, June 20, today. This means that many banks are going to be closed today. According to its website, the Federal Reserve is going to be closed today. The website notes: “Sunday – the Federal Reserve Banks and the Board of Governors are closed on June 20, 2022, December 26, 2022, and January 2, 2023.”
Next year, in 2023, the Federal Reserve will be closed on June 19 because the holiday won’t fall on a Sunday. Most banks are closed on federal holidays. So expect banks near you to be closed today.
