US stock markets will remain open on Monday, October 12, 2026, despite the observance of Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples’ Day, allowing investors to trade equities during regular market hours.
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq will follow their normal trading schedules, with the standard stock market session running from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern Time. Bond markets, however, are generally closed for the federal holiday, reflecting the different holiday calendars followed by equity and fixed-income markets.
