Wall Street will be shut for Juneteenth on Friday 19 June 2026, with both the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq closing in New York for the federal holiday, leaving investors unable to trade US shares during normal hours and forcing some awkward decisions about portfolio management heading into the long weekend.
US markets routinely pause for major national holidays, and Juneteenth National Independence Day was added to that calendar only in recent years. In 2026, the stock market will observe 10 full holiday closures and two early shutdowns, broadly tracking the US federal calendar and the main banking holidays.
