If you’re planning to trade stocks on Columbus Day 2025 — which falls on Monday, October 13 — here’s the good news for investors: the U.S. stock market will be open.
Unlike banks and federal offices, Columbus Day is not a stock market holiday. Both the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq will remain open for regular trading hours — 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The bond market, however, follows a slightly different schedule and will close early at 2:00 p.m. ET under the SIFMA holiday calendar.
That means you can continue to buy, sell, and trade as usual on Columbus Day. Online brokers such as Charles Schwab, Fidelity, TD Ameritrade, E*TRADE, and Robinhood will all operate normally.
It’s important to remember, though, that some banking transactions — including deposits or fund transfers into brokerage accounts — may be delayed since banks and the Federal Reserve are closed.
In short, while post offices and banks take the day off, Wall Street doesn’t. Traders, investors, and financial analysts can carry on with business as usual.
So if you’re planning to make a move in the market, you’re in luck — the stock exchanges stay open on Columbus Day 2025.
