The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq have announced plans to shut down on January 9 as part of a National Day of Mourning to honor the late former President Jimmy Carter. This closure will apply to all stock and options markets on the day of Carter's official state funeral in Washington, DC.
This decision follows the tradition of US stock markets closing in the aftermath of a US president's passing. Similar closures occurred in November 2018 following the death of former President George H. W. Bush. Carter, the 39th US president, passed away in Georgia at the age of 100.
