Is the stock market open on Christmas Eve? New Year’s Eve? Here are the upcoming holiday trading hours.

The U.S. Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends a 2 p.m. close for trading in bonds on Thursday, Dec. 23, including the 10-year Treasury note TMUBMUSD10Y, 1.459%, but there will be no early close for equity markets, per New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq recommendations.

In the commodities complex, energy and metals markets will close at their normal times, with trading of metals, including gold futures GC00 on Comex, set to end at 1:30 p.m. Eastern, and West Texas Intermediate crude-oil CL00, +0.10% trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange slated to wrap up at 2:30 p.m.

Global financial markets mostly will be closed on Friday, Dec. 31, or Monday, Jan. 3, 2022, in observation of the New Year’s holiday, but U.S. markets won’t.

For the first time in a decade, there will be no U.S. stock-market closure in observance of New Year’s Day because of the relatively obscure NYSE Rule 7.2.  

Equity markets are aiming to close out December and 2021 on a high note after volatile trade recently. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.74% was looking at a monthly gain of 3.7%, with a nearly 17% year-to-date advance currently in place; the S&P 500 index SPX, +1.02%  was looking at a 2.8% rise in December and an over 25% annual gain, while the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +1.18%  was on track for a 0.1% decline on the month and a 20% year-to-date rise. That is after withering trade to start this penultimate week of December.
