Wall Street Stays Open as Banks Close for Veterans Day
11 Nov
Summary
- Stock markets NYSE and Nasdaq remain open on Veterans Day, November 11.
- US banks, federal offices, and the bond market observe Veterans Day as a holiday.
- Futures indicate a positive opening for technology stocks, led by Nasdaq.
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq will observe regular trading hours on Veterans Day, Wednesday, November 11, 2026, despite it being a federal holiday. This means investors can continue buying and selling securities as usual on these major US stock exchanges.
Conversely, US banks, federal offices, and the bond market will be closed in observance of Veterans Day. While ATMs and online services remain accessible, Federal Reserve-processed transactions may face delays until the following day. USPS post offices also close, with mail delivery suspended for the day.
Stock futures showed an upward trend before the opening bell on November 11, with technology stocks leading the advance. Nasdaq 100 futures saw the largest percentage gain, reflecting positive investor sentiment. This optimism is partly driven by strong results from CoreWeave, which boosted shares by over 10% in premarket trading, easing concerns about AI infrastructure spending.
Despite positive movements in tech stocks like Nvidia, Micron, and Marvell, concerns over inflation persist. Hotter-than-expected consumer price data from October fuels expectations that the Federal Reserve might consider raising interest rates in December. The bond market, however, will remain closed on Veterans Day.
