The New York Stock Exchange is closed today in observance of the National Day of Mourning in recognition of the passing of former President Jimmy Carter.
"Jimmy Carter, with humble roots as a farmer and family man, devoted his life to public service and defending our freedom," said Lynn Martin, President of NYSE Group. "During his noteworthy post-presidential life, President Carter left an enduring legacy of humanitarianism. The NYSE will respectfully honor President Carter's lifetime of service to our nation by closing our markets on the National Day of Mourning."
