The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq will conduct regular trading sessions this Wednesday, November 11, 2026, as the United States observes Veterans Day. Although the date is a recognized federal holiday, it does not mandate a closure for major equity markets, allowing investors to buy and sell stocks and ETFs throughout the standard hours of 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET.
Conversely, the US bond market will remain shut in accordance with the holiday schedule recommended by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association. Most commercial bank branches will also close, as the day is included in the Federal Reserve's holiday calendar. While digital services like mobile banking and ATMs remain functional, financial transactions necessitating Federal Reserve processing may face delays until Thursday, November 12.
Pre-market activity showed positive movement for major indices following recent losses. As of 5:04 a.m. ET, Dow Jones futures rose 15 points, or 0.03%, while S&P 500 futures climbed 55.75 points, or 0.74%. The Nasdaq 100 futures recorded the most significant growth, increasing by 465.25 points, or 1.67%.
Technology stocks led this early recovery, with CoreWeave shares rising more than 10% following positive business outlook reports. Nvidia saw a 4% gain in premarket activity after experiencing significant market value losses over the previous two sessions, while Micron and Marvell each advanced nearly 7%.
